Thanks for the detailed response. Gives me a list of some cool things to explore and learn about !

Every year in various conferences and every new major Linux cycle there are new innovations in the Linux network stack too. To do a true comparison it would be fair to see what innovations exist in the Linux networking stack that have not yet been implemented in FreeBSD. Yes, networking is FreeBSD's pride and joy but Google, Intel and others have done a lot of work on the Linux network stack too (which should not be underestimated).
