We kinda like our stack.

Of course, OBSD has a very good stack as it is, but it has no NetMap
functionality i.e. there's no way for a userland application to do high
speed packet-level IO.

There is a whole world of need of network monitoring and manipulation and
other specialized networking software.

The benefit with doing this on OBSD is that it's more robust than other
systems and at least in my world that's hard currency.



Chris got NetMap to compile on OBSD though I have no clue if/how well
present subsystems deliver for it.
