The OppBSD implementation mimics the normal socket interface
(actually the real socket functions are called in the FreeBSD part
of the code).
I don't think that we excluded the flow control stuff from
the FreeBSD TCP implementation. :-) Therefore, OppBSD should offer
flow control and all the other stuff that a real OS TCP implementation
has. That's exactly one advantage of porting a real implementation
(naturally also including any implementation bugs therein).

Go and have a look at the stuff. OppBSD comes with some example scenarios.
