IIRC their TCP/IP stack was FreeBSD's at least for a while
- p_l 4y agoBerkeley was paid to port TCP/IP to unix and as far as I know, part of the deal was that the code should be available to quickly port TCP/IP to more systems including non-BSD. Thus considerable portion of Operating systems at one point or another used BSD4.3-derived network stack to detriment of network API evolution (sometimes updated with later code), some over time developing their own implementation.
