Last week, at the Linux.conf.au in Dunedin, Van Jacobson presented
some slides about work he has been doing rearchitecting the Linux

doubled network throughput (he expects more, but it was limited by
memory bandwidth). The approach looks like it would work on FreeBSD
as well. I spoke to him and he confirmed.
Comments?
