Correct.

There are some sample code in a SIGCOMM paper (
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2011/papers/1569470463.pdf). It's
real simple but we haven't published the server side code yet. (It's been
ready but I need to rebase it to the latest net-next.)

We will also be working with Rick Jones to add the Fast Open support to
netperf.

Best,

Jerry
