Improving Distributed Application Performance Using TCP Instrumentation

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Distributed scientific computing applications are requiring an ever-increasing amount of bandwidth. Raw network bandwidth has been increasing rapidly, but getting the applications to effectively use this additional bandwidth is becoming more and more difficult. This paper describes how TCP instrumentation can be used to guide more efficient use of the network, using a monitoring daemon that one has developed to passively collect TCP instrumentation data from the kernel for a given application. The paper describes how this daemon was used to analyze GridFTP data flows with some experimental TCP protocol enhancements.

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?
