I feel sorry for my absence when I promised you all to work on the networking, but suddenly I had a lot of work to finish before I get free time again. I want to say you did a very great work! I tested trunk ISO a couple of days ago, trying simple like downloading files using FireFox, browsing web and it was so good experience.
I will ask Aleksey to update my branch, and I will pick up a different task for ReactOS this time. Your OS really becomes usable, good work!

LwIP is in the final stage of testing, pending one bug fix before all known bugs are fixed. I would greatly appreciate everyone to try it and reply to this email with the results of your tests. I've already tried many apps including telnetd, chargen, and abyss web server, samba tng, and Opera 9.6. During my testing, the lwIP implementation performed flawlessly. It handled several chargen sessions while serving web pages and servicing open telnet sessions plus being probed by nmap. The only thing that finally killed the server was a pool leak that caused a win32k assert failure. I also ran a BitTorrent download and it peaked at 2.3 MB/s down. Web browsing is an absolute pleasure on lwIP. It really feels like I'm browsing on the host system directly. There are no more stutters like oskit had. I'd encourage everyone to try it. It's surprising how well it works especially since I thought oskit was fairly good. My testing on lwIP has been perfect and I hope everyone else has a similar experience. Please only report bugs that don't also happen with oskit. Happy testing!
