Potential performance bottleneck in Linux TCP
TCP is the most widely used transport protocol on the Internet today. Over the years, especially recently, due to requirements of high bandwidth transmission, various approaches have been proposed to improve TCP performance. The Linux 2.6 kernel is now preemptible. It can be interrupted mid-task, making the system more responsive and interactive. However, we have noticed that Linux kernel preem...
متن کاملCongestion Control in Linux TCP
The TCP protocol is used by the majority of the network applications on the Internet. TCP performance is strongly influenced by its congestion control algorithms that limit the amount of transmitted traffic based on the estimated network capacity and utilization. Because the freely available Linux operating system has gained popularity especially in the network servers, its TCP implementation a...
متن کاملMaking Linux TCP Fast
We describe several major changes that have recently been made and are still underway within the Linux TCP implementation. The Linux send engine has been refactored to decouple loss recovery from congestion control, allowing the sending rate to be independent of packet loss. RACK loss recovery reworks loss detection to rest on a more general foundation of time-based analysis, instead of countin...
متن کاملTCP Performance over ATM on Linux and Windows NTMartin
In today's local area networks ATM is often used as replacement for slow Ethernet. This work measures and compares performance of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over ATM on two popular operating systems on PC hardware. Throughput and round trip latency of TCP data transfer over both Linux and Windows NT on identical hardware were measured. For throughput measurements, send and receive ...
متن کاملImproving Processing Performance of Linux TCP SACK Implementation
Linux TCP implementation has significant limitations in loss recovery performance due to Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) related processing latencies when the outstanding window is large. In this paper we address a number of these shortcomings by extending earlier work by others using fast access shortcut variables to the expected next-tobe-processed segment and through novel resegmentation of ...
