the block comment at the top of the file:
This module provides kernel support for testing network
throughput from the perspective of the kernel. It is
similar in spirit to the classic ttcp network benchmark
program, the main difference being that with kttcp, the
kernel is the source and sink of the data.
Testing like this is useful for a few reasons:
1. This allows us to know what kind of performance we can
expect from network applications that run in the kernel
space, such as the NFS server or the NFS client. These
applications don't have to move the data to/from userspace,
and so benchmark programs which run in userspace don't
give us an accurate model.
2. Since data received is just thrown away, the receiver
is very fast. This can provide better exercise for the
sender at the other end.
3. Since the NetBSD kernel currently uses a run-to-completion
scheduling model, kttcp provides a benchmark model where
preemption of the benchmark program is not an issue.
There is a companion "kttcp" user program which uses the kttcp
pseudo-device.

Makefiles. The main feature added by these targets is that they cover
ONLY the source files used for a given kernel and no other. Thus when
examining MD routines provided by all machines, you will see only
those applicable for your kernel.

- two iocts used by ndp(8) are now obsolete (backward compat provided).

by default, and can be enabled by adding the SOSEND_LOAN option to your
kernel config. The SOSEND_COUNTERS option can be used to provide some
instrumentation.
Use of this option, combined with an application that does large enough
writes, gets us zero-copy on the TCP and UDP transmit path.

management bits, and doesn't support older controllers, but that shouldn't
be hard to fix.

If is restricted to SIOP which implement the load/store instruction, and
has 10 scratch registers (basically, 825 and newer, possibly 770).
It implements a different interface between host and script, using a real
ring for command starts, and improved support for reconnect which will allow
256 tag per device. It uses interrupt on the fly to signal complete command,
which allows several commands to be serviced per interrupt and doesn't require
the script to stop to signal command completion.

B-channel and D-channel drivers separately) split the Fritz!PCI card
driver out of the isic driver.
The new device is called "ifpci" and uses the same D-channel driver as the
isic devices, but has it's own B-channel driver.
