>Isn't surprising either that Dragonfly BSD's outperforming Linux in network throughput, despite its small number of developers. This is a pretty meaningless statement. Network throughput on what? Low latency connections? High latency? Jumbo frames? What if you're using DPDK? How about vs. XDP? What is it tuned for? If you mean that if you just install Dragonfly BSD and some random popular Linux distribution that you might see better performance out of the box on some arbitrary benchmarks, yeah, I can believe it. If you mean that you're going to get better performance in Dragonfly BSD than Linux when it comes to all scenarios with network throughput, this is silly, especially when you can take advantage of things like DPDK, XDP, af_packet v4, etc. If network performance is your biggest concern in 2018, you're caring more about that sort of tech and being on something that supports it than you are about how things perform out of the box. (Also, Linux has had a lockless TCP stack since 2016)
