You scratch the surface! It isn't simple madvice() and splice(): it starts with
TCP_INFO and will end will with obscure[tm] sendfile() flags. Anyway: netsend is
optimized especially for Linux. The FreeBSD network stack works quite well, no
doubt, but we focus on Linux. Thats the name of the game.

So you are right: netsend should be limited in arch.
