Achieving Reliable High Performance in LFNs

Original language description

The PC hardware architecture and commodity operating systems such as Linux or Microsoft Windows are dominant in end-host infrastructure in the current Internet. It turns out that many performance problems in high-speed long-distance networks (also calledlong-fat networks or LFNs due to high possible volume of outstanding data between the sender and receiver) are caused by improper behaviour of end hosts, rather than by the network itself. Understanding of the behaviour of commodity operating systems, networking applications, their mutual interaction and their interaction with a computer network is required to identify and resolve these problems. Our goal in this paper is to identify some of these problems and suggest possible solutions. Many advancedInternet users, requiring high network performance, use the Linux operating system. Therefore, we decided to concentrate on networking support in Linux. Particularly, we will show that just setting large TCP buffers is not sufficient to r
