Re: XTP for 2.6.25



Now I have connected 2 hosts directly, and evaluate the each throughput.
Then all the results of UDP, TCP and XTP are the same and 94Mbps. (My
netwrok is 100Base/TX).

In this case round-trip time between 2 hosts is less than 0.1ms
because they are directly connected. But my previouse case, round-trip
time between 2 hosts are 4ms. (I use IPSEC between the security
gateways to increase delay).
I think that's the reason TCP throughput is slow. If ACK packets are
delayed, sending window cannot slide and sending packets cannot be
fully bursted.

If I changes wmem size through /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem, TCP's
throughput may improve, but congestion control becomes more difficult
for TCP.

That is TCP's disadvantage to XTP.

I tested in the network where UDP throughput is 29Mbps, then TCP
throughput was 13Mbps, but XTP's reached to 25Mbps.

One interesting question is why TCP was so much slower than UDP
on your test. It shouldn't be on a fair test setup.

Please post details. Was the network losing packets?

New protocols might be interesting, but even more interesting is to
fix any (real) problems in existing protocols.
