Re: Request for Testing: TCP RACK

Hello all!

It works just fine!
System performance is OK.
Using patch on main-n268841-b0aaf8beb126(-dirty).

net.inet.tcp.functions_available:
Stack                           D Alias                            PCB count
freebsd                           freebsd                          0
rack                            * rack                             38

It would be so nice that we can have a sysctl tunnable for this patch
so we could do more tests without recompiling kernel.

Thanks all!
Really happy here :)

Cheers,
