OK, I keep hearing reference to how Linux networking is not as good
as FreeBSD and so forth

usually in the form of 'Linux networking, being written from the ground up,
and as opposed to 386BSD derivatives rather cleverly using the available
and stable NET/2 code' (and of course this ignites the whole
licencing debate)...

what I want to know is, can anyone back this up with facts ? What
exactly doesn't Linux do (or does do, but incorrectly) ?

thanks
David
