I have no idea if my interpretation of what is going on is correct, I'm still learning.

To be crystal clear you might want to say:

The default value of the sysctl variable net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait has changed from 1 to 0. This means that FreeBSD does not skip the TIME_WAIT state anymore for endpoints for which the remote address is local. The new sysctl variable net.inet.tcp.msl_local can be used to control the time these endpoints stay in the TIME_WAIT state. The sysctl variable net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait is deprecated and intended to be removed in FreeBSD 16.

Thank you so much.

Okay, that sounds perfect. Should I use your text and set you as the author? I don't want to be misrepresenting/stealing it.
