If you're going to ask people to read up on the Solaris networking stack, at least give them a technical document rather than a blog/marketing piece: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/solaris_networking.jsp The background section should explain to you why Solaris experienced performance issues with its STREAMS-based stack, which they have since replaced with ``FireEngine''. The OpenBSD stack does not exhibit these same performance problems. Have you done any benchmarks? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- => Joel Sing | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 0419 577 603 <= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time." - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
