what is the bset way to monetize a graphic designer

There are several ways to monetize a graphic designer's skills and services effectively. Some of the best methods include:

1. Freelance work: Graphic designers can offer their services on freelancing platforms, such as Upwork, Freelancer, or Fiverr, to find clients and projects that suit their skills and expertise. They can charge clients on a project basis or hourly rate.

2. Create and sell digital products: Graphic designers can create digital assets like templates, fonts, icons, illustrations, or textures and sell them on online marketplaces such as Creative Market, Etsy, or Adobe Stock. This allows designers to earn passive income from their creations.

3. Offer design services to businesses: Graphic designers can directly approach businesses, startups, and agencies to offer their design services on a project basis or through retainer agreements. Building a portfolio and showcasing past work can help attract and retain clients.

4. Create online courses or workshops: Graphic designers can share their knowledge and expertise by creating and selling online courses, workshops, or tutorials on platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, or Teachable. This can be an additional source of income and a way to reach a broader audience.

5. Affiliate marketing: Graphic designers can collaborate with brands or online tools related to design, such as software, printing services, or design resources, and earn a commission for referring customers to these products or services.

6. Content creation: Graphic designers can create content for blogs, social media platforms, or YouTube channels related to design tips, tutorials, or industry insights. Monetization options include sponsored content, ad revenue, or affiliate partnerships.

7. Offer design consultations: Graphic designers can provide one-on-one design consultations, feedback sessions, or design critiques to individuals or businesses looking to improve their visual branding and design elements.

By leveraging multiple monetization strategies, a graphic designer can diversify their income streams, reach a wider audience, and maximize their earning potential.

What’s your latest database update?

As of my latest update in October 2023, I have access to information available up to that point. However, I don't have real-time updating capabilities or access to live databases. If you're looking for specific, up-to-date information on a topic, please specify what you need, and I'll do my best to provide the most relevant and recent information available up to my last update.

Does NetBSD support SO_NOPUSH socket option?

As of my last update in October 2023, NetBSD does not natively support the `SO_NOPUSH` socket option, which is a non-standard socket option originally found in some BSD-derived systems like FreeBSD. This option is used to control the TCP push flag, allowing an application to control when data is actually sent out instead of being buffered.

It's worth noting that support for such features can vary between different BSD variants and their versions. If you require similar functionality on NetBSD, you might have to implement it at the application level or look into other TCP socket options that NetBSD provides.

For the most current and accurate information, I recommend checking the official NetBSD documentation or the source code of the particular NetBSD release you are using. You could also reach out to the NetBSD community or mailing lists for any recent changes or workarounds that may not be widely documented yet.

Is there analogous option on NetBSD? How to implement in on application lavel?

NetBSD does not have a direct equivalent of the `SO_NOPUSH` socket option, but you can achieve similar functionality through other means. The `SO_NOPUSH` option is typically used to control the sending of partial packets, often in the context of TCP, which can be useful in certain optimization scenarios, such as HTTP servers.

### Possible Analogous Options:
1. **TCP_NODELAY**: This socket option disables Nagle's algorithm, which can be useful for sending data immediately rather than waiting to gather enough data to fill a TCP segment.
   ```c
   int flag = 1;
   setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));
   ```

### Application-Level Implementation:
To implement similar behavior to `SO_NOPUSH` at the application level, you can manage your data writes more carefully. Below is an example approach using regular writes and explicitly controlling flush behavior:

1. **Buffer Data Manually**: Instead of sending data immediately, you can buffer your data within the application.
2. **Control Flush Timing**: Decide when to actually send this buffered data over the network.

Here's a simplified example in C:

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BUFFER_SIZE 8192

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
    char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
    int nbytes;
    int opt = 1;

    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Set TCP_NODELAY
    setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (void *)&opt, sizeof(int));

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Manually buffer data
    strcpy(buffer, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n");
    nbytes = strlen(buffer);

    // Write buffered data to socket
    if (send(sockfd, buffer, nbytes, 0) != nbytes) {
        perror("Send failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Optionally wait before sending more data
    // sleep(1);

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

In this example, data is buffered in `buffer` and sent in one call to `send()`. The use of `TCP_NODELAY` ensures that data will be sent immediately instead of being delayed by Nagle's algorithm. This approach mimics the behavior of `SO_NOPUSH` by explicitly controlling when data is sent.

For more advanced use cases, you might need to adapt this strategy further, possibly involving more sophisticated buffering and flush mechanisms tailored to your application logic.

Does NetBSD support SO_CORK?

As of my last update in October 2023, NetBSD does not support the `SO_CORK` socket option. The `SO_CORK` option is primarily found on Linux and is used to control the transmission of data in TCP sockets, allowing an application to accumulate data in a buffer and then send it all at once. This can be useful for optimizing network performance by reducing the number of packets sent.

### Alternative Approaches in NetBSD

While NetBSD doesn't support `SO_CORK`, you can achieve similar behavior through application-level mechanisms, as previously discussed. Another alternative is to manage buffers and flushing periods manually.

### Using TCP_NODELAY

One of the closest options available on NetBSD is `TCP_NODELAY`, which disables Nagle's algorithm. This allows data to be sent immediately rather than being buffered to form a full-sized TCP packet:

```c
int flag = 1;
setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));
```

### Manual Buffering and Flushing

You can maintain manual control of when data is sent by managing your own data buffer within the application and deciding explicitly when to flush this buffer to the network.

Here’s how you might approach this in practice using a manual buffering strategy:

#### Example in C

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define BUFFER_SIZE 8192

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
    char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
    size_t buf_len = 0;
    int opt = 1;

    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Set TCP_NODELAY
    setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (void *)&opt, sizeof(int));

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Example: Accumulate data in buffer
    const char *data1 = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    const char *data2 = "Host: example.com\r\n\r\n";
    snprintf(buffer + buf_len, BUFFER_SIZE - buf_len, "%s", data1);
    buf_len += strlen(data1);
    snprintf(buffer + buf_len, BUFFER_SIZE - buf_len, "%s", data2);
    buf_len += strlen(data2);

    // Send buffered data
    ssize_t sent_bytes = send(sockfd, buffer, buf_len, 0);
    if (sent_bytes < 0) {
        perror("Send failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    } else if ((size_t)sent_bytes != buf_len) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Partial send: %zd of %zu bytes\n", sent_bytes, buf_len);
    }

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

In this example, the application accumulates data in a buffer and sends it in one operation, achieving a similar effect to `SO_CORK`.

### Summary

NetBSD does not support the `SO_CORK` socket option. However, you can use `TCP_NODELAY` to disable Nagle's algorithm and achieve immediate data sending, and manage buffering at the application level to control when data is actually transmitted. For the latest details on supported socket options and their usage, consult the NetBSD documentation or the NetBSD source code.

Does NetBSD support TCP_QUICKACK?

As of my last update in October 2023, NetBSD does not support the `TCP_QUICKACK` socket option. This option, which is available in some other operating systems like Linux, is used to control the behavior of TCP acknowledgment (ACK) packets, allowing applications to enable or disable the quick acknowledgment of incoming TCP segments.

### Alternative Approaches in NetBSD

In NetBSD, there isn't a direct equivalent to `TCP_QUICKACK`. However, you can still achieve efficient TCP communication using other available options and by writing your application to handle TCP flows effectively.

### Using TCP_NODELAY

One alternative for reducing latency in TCP transmissions is the `TCP_NODELAY` option, which disables Nagle's algorithm:

```c
int flag = 1;
setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));
```

Disabling Nagle's algorithm can help in scenarios where you need to send small packets immediately without waiting for more data to fill up the packet.

### Manual Tuning and Socket Options

NetBSD supports several other socket options that you can leverage to tune TCP behavior according to your needs. Some of these include:

- **TCP_MAXSEG**: Change the maximum segment size.
- **SO_RCVBUF** and **SO_SNDBUF**: Adjust the receive and send buffer sizes.

Example for setting the receive buffer size:

```c
int rcvbuf_size = 32768;
setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &rcvbuf_size, sizeof(rcvbuf_size));
```

Here’s an example of how you might set these options in a broader context:

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;

    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Setting TCP_NODELAY
    int flag = 1;
    setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));

    // Set custom send and receive buffer sizes
    int sndbuf_size = 32768;
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &sndbuf_size, sizeof(sndbuf_size));

    int rcvbuf_size = 32768;
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &rcvbuf_size, sizeof(rcvbuf_size));

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Now you can send and receive data
    // ...

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

### Summary

NetBSD does not support the `TCP_QUICKACK` option, but other socket options such as `TCP_NODELAY`, `SO_RCVBUF`, and `SO_SNDBUF` can help you achieve efficient TCP communication. For the most current information and a detailed list of supported socket options, you should always refer to the NetBSD documentation and source code.

Do I need to set TCP_QUICKACK after each recv function? Is there alternatives?

In the context of operating systems that support the `TCP_QUICKACK` option, such as Linux, you typically might not need to set `TCP_QUICKACK` after every `recv` call. This option is often used to either enable quick acknowledgments for a period or in a specific situation, after which the kernel might revert to its default acknowledgment strategy.

### Using TCP_QUICKACK on Linux

On Linux, you can use `TCP_QUICKACK` to ensure immediate ACKs for incoming packets, typically to reduce latency in a request-response protocol.

```c
int quickack = 1;
setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_QUICKACK, &quickack, sizeof(quickack));
```

However, the setting might not persist indefinitely. It can be re-enabled as needed, but not necessarily after every `recv` call.

### Alternatives on Systems Without TCP_QUICKACK

Since NetBSD does not support `TCP_QUICKACK`, here are some alternative strategies to improve TCP performance and responsiveness:

1. **TCP_NODELAY**: This disables Nagle's algorithm, allowing small packets to be sent without delay.
   
   ```c
   int flag = 1;
   setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));
   ```

2. **Tuning Buffer Sizes**: Increasing the size of the receive and send buffers can help improve performance for certain types of applications.

   ```c
   int bufsize = 32768; // Example size
   setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
   setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
   ```

3. **Application-Level Acknowledgment Handling**: While you cannot control acknowledgments at the TCP level as you would with `TCP_QUICKACK`, you can design your application protocol to acknowledge receipt of important messages at the application level, optimizing responsiveness and efficiency.

### Example on NetBSD

Below is an example demonstrating how to set `TCP_NODELAY` and adjust buffer sizes on NetBSD:

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;

    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Disable Nagle's algorithm with TCP_NODELAY
    int flag = 1;
    setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));

    // Set custom buffer sizes
    int bufsize = 32768; // Example size
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Proceed with your send/recv logic
    // ...

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

### Summary

While you don't need to set `TCP_QUICKACK` after each `recv` call on systems that support it, and since NetBSD does not support `TCP_QUICKACK`, you should use `TCP_NODELAY` and other socket options to optimize TCP performance. Always consider your specific application needs and network behavior when tuning these options.

Linux documentation says that TCP_QUICKACK is one-shot option?  Is it true? What does it mean?

Yes, it's true that the `TCP_QUICKACK` option in Linux is considered a one-shot option. What this means is that setting `TCP_QUICKACK` only temporarily affects the acknowledgment strategy of the socket for the next incoming segment. Once an acknowledgment is sent, the kernel will typically revert to its default acknowledgment behavior.

### Understanding TCP_QUICKACK as a One-Shot Option

When you enable `TCP_QUICKACK` with `setsockopt`, the TCP stack will immediately acknowledge the next packet that it receives. However, after sending that acknowledgment, the default acknowledgment strategy (like delayed acknowledgments) will be used for subsequent packets unless `TCP_QUICKACK` is set again.

### How to Use TCP_QUICKACK

Since it's a one-shot option, if you need to consistently ACK each incoming segment quickly, you might need to set this option repeatedly based on your application’s logic.

#### Example Usage in a Loop

Here is an example in C demonstrating how you might set `TCP_QUICKACK` repeatedly in a receive loop:

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
    char buffer[1024];
    int quickack = 1;

    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Receiving data in a loop
    while (1) {
        ssize_t nbytes = recv(sockfd, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0);
        if (nbytes < 0) {
            perror("Recv failed");
            break;
        } else if (nbytes == 0) {
            // Connection closed by the server
            break;
        }

        // Process the received data
        buffer[nbytes] = '\0';
        printf("Received: %s\n", buffer);

        // Set TCP_QUICKACK to ensure immediate acknowledgment of the received packet
        setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_QUICKACK, &quickack, sizeof(quickack));
    }

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

### Alternatives in Systems Without TCP_QUICKACK

As mentioned earlier, NetBSD and some other operating systems do not support `TCP_QUICKACK`. Instead, consider using:
- **TCP_NODELAY** to disable Nagle's algorithm and reduce latency.
- Application-level protocols or acknowledgment strategies.
- Tuning TCP parameters and socket buffers for optimal performance.

### Summary

`TCP_QUICKACK` is a one-shot option in Linux, meaning its effect lasts until the next acknowledgment is sent, after which the kernel reverts to its default behavior. To maintain quick ACKs, you need to set this option repeatedly in your application logic wherever necessary. For operating systems without this feature, use `TCP_NODELAY` and other techniques to achieve similar performance improvements.

Do FreeBSD, OpenBSD and MackOS support TCP_QUICKACK? Is TCP_QUICKACK one-shop option whenever supported?

As of my last update in October 2023, the `TCP_QUICKACK` socket option is primarily associated with Linux. It's not a universally supported feature across all BSD variants or macOS.

### Support in Other Operating Systems:

#### FreeBSD:
- **FreeBSD** does not support the `TCP_QUICKACK` socket option. FreeBSD uses other mechanisms and socket options for TCP performance tuning, like `TCP_NODELAY` to disable Nagle's algorithm.

#### OpenBSD:
- **OpenBSD** also does not support the `TCP_QUICKACK` socket option. Like FreeBSD, OpenBSD focuses on different sets of socket options and tuning mechanisms.

#### macOS:
- **macOS** does not support the `TCP_QUICKACK` option. macOS, being derived from BSD and aligned more closely with FreeBSD in its network stack, does not include this Linux-specific option.

### One-Shot Nature of TCP_QUICKACK:
In Linux, `TCP_QUICKACK` is indeed a one-shot option. This means that enabling it will affect only the next acknowledgment, after which the default acknowledgment behavior resumes. If consistent quick acknowledgments are necessary, the application needs to set `TCP_QUICKACK` repeatedly.

### Alternatives for Systems Without TCP_QUICKACK:
Since other operating systems, like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS, don't support `TCP_QUICKACK`, you can use other socket options and techniques to control TCP behavior and optimize performance:

1. **TCP_NODELAY**: Disables Nagle's algorithm, useful for sending small packets without delay.

   ```c
   int flag = 1;
   setsockopt(socket_fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));
   ```

2. **Buffer Size Tuning**: Adjusting the send and receive buffer sizes.

   ```c
   int bufsize = 32768; // Example size
   setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
   setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
   ```

3. **Lingering Settings**: Use the `SO_LINGER` option to control the behavior of lingering close.

   ```c
   struct linger linger_opt = {1, 0}; // Linger active, 0 second timeout
   setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, &linger_opt, sizeof(linger_opt));
   ```

4. **Application-Level Protocol Optimization**: Implement efficient application-level acknowledgment handling tailored to your specific use-case.

### Example without TCP_QUICKACK:
Here’s an example of setting `TCP_NODELAY` and buffer sizes in a posix-compliant way that should work across different Unix-like operating systems including FreeBSD, OpenBSD and macOS:

```c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/tcp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int sockfd;
    struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
    char buffer[1024];
    
    // Create a socket
    sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (sockfd < 0) {
        perror("Socket creation failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Disable Nagle's algorithm with TCP_NODELAY
    int flag = 1;
    setsockopt(sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, (char *)&flag, sizeof(int));

    // Set custom buffer sizes
    int bufsize = 32768; // Example size
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));
    setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, &bufsize, sizeof(bufsize));

    // Setup server address
    servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    servaddr.sin_port = htons(8080);
    servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

    // Connect to the server
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0) {
        perror("Connect failed");
        close(sockfd);
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // Receiving data in a loop
    while (1) {
        ssize_t nbytes = recv(sockfd, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0);
        if (nbytes < 0) {
            perror("Recv failed");
            break;
        } else if (nbytes == 0) {
            // Connection closed by the server
            break;
        }

        // Process the received data
        buffer[nbytes] = '\0';
        printf("Received: %s\n", buffer);
    }

    // Close the socket
    close(sockfd);

    return 0;
}
```

### Summary:
- **TCP_QUICKACK** is not supported on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or macOS.
- On Linux, `TCP_QUICKACK` is a one-shot option that requires resetting after each acknowledgment.
- Use alternatives like `TCP_NODELAY`, adjusting buffer sizes, and optimizing application-level protocols on systems without `TCP_QUICKACK` to achieve desired TCP performance.
