----- Forwarded message from Matt Mathis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Matt Mathis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 23:57:45 -0500 (EST) Subject: [e2e] TCP tuning software from web100 The web100 project just released TCP performance instrumentation software. This software consists of Linux kernel patches that (loosely) implement draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-mib-extension-00.txt as well as a set of user tools that make it easier for a moderately cluefull network administrator or user to get TCP to run at line rate. >From the abstract in the I-D: This draft describes extended performance statistics for TCP. They are designed to use TCP's ideal vantage point to diagnose performance problems in both the network and the application. If a network based application is performing poorly, TCP can determine if the bottleneck is in the sender, the receiver or the network itself. If the bottle- neck is in the network, TCP can provide specific information about its nature. Neither the software nor the draft is done yet. If you have suggestions or ideas for TCP events that should be instrumented please let us know. Also, you might find it interesting to speculate how this might change the traffic dynamics of the Internet as a whole. There is more information and software at www.web100.org If you have any questions or comments, I will be at the IETF.
