Optimizing TCP Forwarding

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview The continued growth of the web places ever increasing performance demands on web site front-end appliances. In many cases, these appliances have to forward network traffic to and from web servers at transport and application levels utilizing complete TCP/IP stack processing, which could easily make the front-end appliance a bottleneck for a web site. This paper describes four novel optimizations of the TCP/IP stack processing for a TCP forwarding appliance: acknowledgement aggregation, fast path for incoming packets, double allocation avoidance in TCP module, and packet reuse.

Symantec makes another anti-spam acquisition

Working at the edge of the network, or the point at which a corporate network connects to the internet, the anti-spam router looks at the actual packets of information in messages and determines which ones are likely to have come from a spammer.

Analysis: The network is the security

Network devices will have the ability to tear apart packets, block malicious code, enforce policies and filter content up and down the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) stack. Like existing tools from Arbor Networks, Mazu Networks and Q1 Labs, the...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

With DiffServ, information about priority is places in a packets header; with MPLS and extra header field is attached. The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications.

Devil's Advocate: In search of wireless nirvana

An appealing application for power over ethernet is support for a centrally powered, distributed network that channels data packets on fewer and fewer cables as they get closer to central points that house servers.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
