CTL_IPPROTO_NAMES used anywhere ?

Hi, /sys/netinet/in.h contains a huge macro, CTL_IPPROTO_NAMES, which maps to an array containing protocol names. As far as i can tell (find /usr/src | xargs grep CTL_IPPROTO_NAMES) it is not used anywhere in the source tree. Any objection to nuke it ? Besides being unused, it is extremely ugly an

Try retrieving a very large file via ftp. The sendfile() code seems more efficient than ttcp, and if performance improves that may be a clue that the problem lies in the user/kernel interface. If not, probably in the stack. Could it conceivably be a resonance effect between the actual rtt and th
