My first thoughts on this topic were about to extent tcp(4) and create links to tcp_rack(4) and tcp_bbr(4), but separate manpages maybe the way to go. I just have to investigate the respective details. I was once very deep into TCP/IP, while building perimeter firewalls with FreeBSD, but this was 20 years ago. I add you as a reviever for the differential once I have a rough cut for the manpages ready. Best regards, Gordon > >> Am 09.05.2020 um 14:37 schrieb Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org>: > >>> On 9.
