Hi,

I've been trying to get TCP/IP performance as fast as possible by playing
around with sysctl (playing in the net.inet area) and so on, and was
wondering if there were any comprehensive resources on this that I've
missed. Whenever I do a sysctl -d -a to get a list of descriptions, I get
the following on 3.2-RELEASE:

sysctl: sysctl name -1 1024 2: No such file or directory

Any idea as to what's going on here?

Also, I seem to remember hearing about a method used on SunOS to send the
first four bytes of the data payload back with the SYN ACK which gives the
appearance of improved performance on benchmarks. Does anybody know as to
whether this is possible under any version of FreeBSD? I'll move to 4.0 if
I have to. :)
