Comparison of FreeBSD/Linux TCP Throughput performance

[Steve Dong]

There are two gettimeofday calls, one at the beginning of the test and the
other at the end. netperf-2.4.4 is used. I believe gettimeofday is a
vsyscall in linux, but a real system call in freebsd.

Thanks,
Steve

Did you compare syscalls made and time taken?

For example, do either/both of them do a lot of gettimeofday() calls?
FreeBSD and Linux have (had?) different behaviours and performance with
those.

I'd suggest digging a bit deeper? :)
