this may be a bit off topic but not much... I have wondered with all of the
new
tcp algorithms
http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/03/summary-of-five-new-tcp-congestion.html

what algorithm is best suited for NFS over gigabit Ethernet, say FreeBSD to
FreeBSD.
and further more would a NFS optimized tcp algorithm be useful?
