The syn cache code seems like a generally >good idea.. I think it might be more correct to say "the BSD/OS syn cache mechanism", since that's where the idea originated, although I don't know if the NetBSD code is their own or if it came from BSDI. Yes, I think the SYN cache is probably something we should have. I'm not overly thrilled, however since I think it unnecessarily obscures the code and of course slows it down a bit. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
