A NetBSD website page lists research projects that used the operating system, including TCP satellite network modifications by NASA Lewis, IPv6/IPsec work by KAME, and virtual memory system development.
This is a historical reference page rather than a new announcement, but it documents the breadth of networking and systems research built on NetBSD. The projects span protocol research, high availability, and space measurement systems.

NASA Lewis Research Center used NetBSD to test TCP modifications for satellite networks, including selective acknowledgements and larger initial windows.
The KAME project's IPv6/IPsec stack merged into NetBSD-current in June 1999.
IMK developed a sendmail replacement using asynchronous I/O that claimed substantially faster performance than sendmail, qmail, or other free MTAs.
