Term Project Proposal

テーマ:TCPネットワークパフォーマンスの比較と考察
・OS毎のTCPネットワーキングのパフォーマンスを測定する
・TCPの入力から出力までの時間を測定を行う
・Linuxのいくつかのディストリビューションと、FreeBSDなどを比較測定する

チームでやります。

team:有田、中村

  1. まだディテールはたりないよ!

    具体的に、何を測定する? Throughput? Connection latency? select() execution time? Number of instructions to process an incoming TCP packet?

    Idea 1:
    Several years ago, the issue of "wake one" versus "thundering herd" on socket accept() was a concern in TCP performance. Has this issue been resolved? Checking the performance of *recent* OSes would be interesting: what happens when ten processes are waiting on an incoming TCP connection? 100? 1000?

    Look into the Linux kernel code to see how this was resolved. Read
    https://usenix.org/events/usenix2000/freenix/full_papers/molloy/molloy_html/index.html
    for more information on the problem.

    Idea 2:
    Investigate how much "interrupt coalescing" actually reduces the CPU processing necessary for incoming TCP traffic. Do back-to-back packets actually use less CPU than packets that are spaced out a little bit?

    Measuring this one well will be a *hard* problem, but it could be a good problem for a team.

    一番知りたいこと:何を測定する?どうやって測定する?何を勉強になる?
