The network stack is very different now - BSD doesn't run on cell phones after all. But no syncookies, no.

But IMO the real advantage of ARMv8 for a server is that it has better security.



I don't really think ARMv8 has anything useful to provide here?


It's all in there, it's just optional.

Plus it doesn't have variable length instructions.


I'm still not entirely sure what the security improvements are?


Perhaps they would be good execution nodes if not good endpoints.
