But both camps have been fixing bugs in the code. So while both have a common ancestor, I assume they have diverged a little by now. What are some of the differences between the two? I am interested in new features and bug fixes. For instance, FreeBSD has T/TCP support. Does NetBSD? Are there resource limits that have been fixed in one and not the other? Does one handle the SYN_RCVD attack better than the other? No detail is too trivial. DJS
