چکیده

GridFTP has emerged as a de facto standard for secure, reliable, high-performance data transfer across resources on the Grid. By default, GridFTP uses TCP as its transport-level communication protocol. It is well known that TCP Reno cannot provide satisfactory performance on high-speed, long-delay networks. In this paper, we describe how we enabled GridFTP to use UDT as an alternative transport-level communication protocol. We compare the performance of GridFTP over UDT with GridFTP over TCP on various test beds. We also study the impact of UDT on bulk TCP flows.

Capability analyses of mdtmFTP

A decade ago it was theorized that if enough parallel processing power was thrown at an I/O problem, the bottleneck would shift towards the NIC’s link speed [1]. However, today NUMA architecture changes this paradigm, it also matters on which cores these threads are located and how they are managed [2]. Transport protocols are also critical in high latency networks, TCP’s congestion control alg...

Improving GridFTP Performance Using The Phoebus Session Layer linkbordercolor

Phoebus is an infrastructure for improving end-to-end throughput in high-bandwidth, long-distance networks by using a “session layer” protocol and “gateways” in the network. Phoebus has the ability to dynamically allocate network resources and to use segmentspecific transport protocols between gateways, as well as to apply other performance-improving techniques on behalf of the user. One of the...
