[ossig] FreeBSD's TCP/IP stack subpar?

[Ditesh <ditesh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2005-July/001012.html:

   The TCP code now needs a general overhaul, streamlining and cleanup to
   make it easily comprehensible, maintainable and extensible again. In
   addition there are many little optimizations that can be done during
   such an operation, propelling FreeBSD back at the top of the best
   performing TCP/IP stacks again, a position it has held for the longest
   time in the 90's.

So the obvious question is - who is the top of the best performing TCP/IP stacks now? Linux? OpenBSD? NetBSD? *gasp* Windows?

Perhaps those keen on OS research (a certain virulent resident of the Matrix and the Dark Lord of the Sith come to mind) could enlighten us?
