Netflix is doing in-kernel SSL so they don&#x27;t have to hit the web server to encrypt the disk blocks for their streaming movies.<p>That doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s a (Free)BSD issue, just that Netflix chose a particular architecture and are doing the work to make it go fast.<p>Netmap is in FreeBSD, and available for linux.  I think it might be in Dragonfly at this point as well.
