Thanks Peter for the link. I (very) briefly looked at it and have a few
questions (apologies if I missed something obvious):
1) It refers to FreeBSD 4.6-R. Have you tried any newer version?
2) How many total test-cases have you created for TCP? Section 5.
RESULTS mentions 1095 total traces and 1004 turned out good bases on
the test-cases. Where do I look at the test-cases in detail?
3) Section 6. IMPLEMENTATION ANOMALIES lists a bunch of bugs. It'd be
good to know if they are now fixed or not.

I think this is a great piece of work. I'd be interested in knowing
future plans wrt this project.

Cheers,
Hiren
