Ok, in this case, what I understood is that the "optimal rate algorithm" needs to be updated, rewritten, corrected . . . etc. I was also a programmer once, and I know that this can't happen from one day to another, so as a workaround I propose the following: mention about these "issue" in the

Now, I just switched to OpenBSD, and executed the commands as you wrote down. AND IT WORKS! You have more in depth network knowledge than me, so I just will write down what I did, and I have also some questions related to that media option of the ifconfig (which I, to be honest don't really

You told me a very interesting thing, and I need to admit that I did not thought about this (although in the past I wrote some ping program using sockets, so I have a basic knowledge about networking in general). I will try that, but right now I need to resolve other things (not related to

There is a bit of information that I am missing. You mentioned that the throughput on your Amilo, with OpenBSD, is 240KB/s whereas "other OS" (SiC) is able to get a throughput of 1.4MB/s. What application are you using to measure the performance? And this is not meant as an insult, but could it
