some of the new functionality to be found in the 2.6 Linux kernel networking wise :
The bridging firewall code was merged. To manage these you'll
need the ebtables :
A firewalling tool to transparantly filter network traffic passing a bridge. The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering and some basic filtering on higher network layers
IPSec supported in mainline finally .

no need to bsd now ;)
IPVS (IP Virtual Server)
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
The Linux Virtual Server is a highly scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers, with the load balancer running on the Linux operating system. The architecture of the cluster is transparent to end users. End users only see a single virtual server
RFC 2960 - SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol)
SCTP is an IP based, message oriented reliable transport protocol with
congestion control, support for transparent multi-homing and multiple
ordered streams of messages. RFC2960 defines the core protocol.
