NetBSD: The Research OS Behind NASA, Internet2 Records, and More

Research carried out using NetBSD

NetBSD's official gallery showcases a surprising range of research projects that rely on the operating system. NASA uses NetBSD for satellite TCP experiments and even plans to run it on the International Space Station. Researchers at SUNET set an Internet2 Land Speed Record using NetBSD, transferring 840 GB in under 30 minutes. The KAME project's IPv6/IPsec implementation was merged into NetBSD, and the UVM virtual memory system replaced the traditional BSD VM. From TCP Vegas to scalable timer facilities, NetBSD's clean, portable codebase makes it a preferred platform for cutting-edge systems research.
