I assume you're referring to http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/cvs/2004-11/0752.html The problem was that (under the wrong circumstances), a packet of the TCP handshake could be dropped, leading to retransmissions and delays during the handshake, visible as delay of some seconds during connection establishment. Once the connection was successfully established, however, there was no effect on throughput. > I was wondering if anyone knows about the status of this issue with > FreeBSD's pf port? The FreeBSD port is based on OpenBSD's 3.5 release. The above problem was introduced in OpenBSD 3.5-current after the release. Hence, the FreeBSD port never had the problem and didn't need a bugfix.
