Well, your site is inaccessible to people who don't have TCP/IP stacks too.

Try writing one of those from scratch and auditing it. (No, seriously, actually do try, break out Rust, do some proofs; more secure code would be awesome.)

FreeBSD's IP stack is about 1/4 the size of OpenSSL. (And a hell of a lot easier to read, too.)

EDIT: If you exclude sctp, the remaining IP/UDP/TCP/ICMP parts are 1/8th of the size of OpenSSL.
