Is this something that could be switched out at the application
level (presumably by a different set of libraries)?  Or is this
something closer to the OS / network driver level?

If it is just the libraries one uses, does anyone have any pointers
to free libraries that implement it (Linux in particular ;)?

More info!  More info!  :)
