But I have noticed ftp speed under Linux isn't as fast as what : I expected. I get about 200K/s to 300K/s over unloaded ethernet bus. So : maybe the TCP/IP stack under Linux is a bit slower than FreeBSD. From what I can recall the stack was just about written from scratch. Maybe that's not the case with NET-2 (I'm not that much into things) but I can't understand why the BSD code wasn't beaten into the kernel. When you have people like VJ and the CSRG guys spending man years getting amazing performance out of the BSD code it makes sense to run with it. I listened to Van speaking in San Francisco in '93 when he was outlining the work his group had done to the BSD code. Statements like "we _only_ got one order of magnitude performance increase from the XYZ module" showed how well they'd done with the entire stack as a whole. -- __ David J.
