If the server or client on Solaris are competently written then this will not be a problem. The BSD code base does this and the BSD folks did it right - in fact its _beautifully_ implemented and uses tcp like congestion control algorithms

unfsd is single threaded so it wont help if solaris is really handling this wrong. knfsd might well do. You might want to ask sun why they are spamming your server with parallel requests and poor flow control - its the kind of thing you'll often get "oh just type blah to set the queue size" responses
