For another example, see <URL:news:4paedl$4bm@engnews2.Eng.Sun.COM>, where Sun announces fixes to severe problems with Solaris 2.5 (and 2.5.1) TCP performance when communicating over slow links. (In our case, the intervening node was a Cisco terminal server, but it wasn't Cisco's fault.) BSD and Linux networking implementers should read that news article; it describes some entertaining gotchas.
