May i second you Hiten. The DragonFly lists are particularly interesting and you always learn things here. Personnally i don't know anything on the subject of this thread and i have enjoyed observing and trying to understand the arguments. Let's hope people make an effort to be civil, for the benefit of everybody. I will add my grain of salt: on the same subject i have enjoyed reading the papers describing the program of André Oppermann for FreeBSD, notably http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/Optimizing%20the%20FreeBSD%20IP%20and%20TCP%20Stack.pdf which has intersection with points that have been discussed here. Finally let me congratulate Matt for his work and hope best chance of success. -- Michel Talon
