And, I am all for seeing new schemes that buy us some of the things T/TCP was designed for. I am just not enthusiastic about dumping things into the kernel without some review and thought (by more than one person; and, that is not a knock on you --- if I had a nickel for every half-baked thing I'd implemented somewhere .... basically, it's good to get different perspectives). Doing this in a systematic way may have benefits beyond FreeBSD, as well, of course. allman --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBeADFWyrrWs4yIs4RAuRpAJ97dKby5KS6sJKaDupU8s4OU7/1rQCfURgQ qF+ji12qxOfWn09/Xu92sxg= =MK6u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
