[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Archive Site? SunOS TCP Speedup?

jeffv@bisco.kodak.com (Jeff Van Epps) (03/14/91)

The performance we're getting from TCP under SunOS 4.1 on a Sparc IPC
is somewhat less than optimal.  In the book _UNIX Network Programming_,
reference is made to Usenet messages in comp.protocols.tcp-ip in 1988
from a V. Jacobson describing improvements to SunOS TCP.  I seek education
regarding these improvements.

	Were they ever included in SunOS?
	What exactly gets tweaked?
	What if any side effects do they have?

The message-id is given in the book's Bibliography, but I haven't been
able to find an archive site holding old comp.protocols.tcp-ip messages.
Can anyone point me to these messages?

[ I hope you'll forgive me if this is a common inquiry, but I don't normally
  read this newsgroup and I didn't see a FAQ posting within the last 680
  messages. ]
