I have to test the performance of TCP over satellite channels. In one of the TCP mailing lists I read NetBSD supports some of the TCP enhancements like "large windows! - RFC1323, selective acks, fast recovery and fast retransmit....etc. I have innstalled NetBSD but I didn't have succes with NetBSD because there absolutely no documentation available and the "rial and error"method costs a lot of time. My question to you: Does FreeBSD supports the same TCP features like NetBSD does ? Then I would rather install FreeBSD because it is much more easier to administrate and there is dokumentation avaiable. Thank you for your help with regards Olaf Menzel satellite group of network dept.
