Some of this is overflow from last week.

>>”There would be a depressing amount of work before we could even consider Dragonfly, mostly centered around our async sendfile (which is now upstream in FreeBSD), our TCP changes: BBR (not yet upstream), RACK (now upstream) and TCP pacing (now upstream). Not to mention unmapped mbufs (not yet upstream) and kernel TLS (also not yet upstream). Also, the last time I looked, Dragonfly did not have drivers for Chelsio or Mellanox 10/25/40/100GbE NICs”
