Performance Engineering E2EpiPEs and FastTCP
Two Jaws of a High-performance Vice • E2EpiPEs • Measure performance and help diagnose performance problems • Drive down non-congestive packet loss • FastTCP • One of several exciting efforts in transport layer research • Allow applications to perform well, even in the presence of some non-congestive loss
Other Sources of Optimism • Improved plumbing • 10 Gb/s Abilene upgrade • Regional fiber initiatives, e.g., Indiana • Growing maturity of gigE products • Both switches and interface cards • 9000-byte MTUs increasingly common • Web100 • Insight into performance as seen by TCP layer
