All,
A recent post to the netdev mailing list made it clear that SCTP
doesn't support socket buffer autotuning. All of a sudden, many of
our benchmarks start to make sense... Has there been any
work/investigation to support this? I suspect that there might be
some difficulty due to the multihoming nature of SCTP, but I haven't
taken the time to really investigate this avenue... Any insight it
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karl

I think some work was already done:
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/michawe/research/projects/new-transport/implementing-sctp-auto-buffer-tuning.html
Not sure about the current status.
I'm CCing Michael as he most likely knows.
Best regards
Michael

Thanks for sharing this link Michael!
I'm currently on vacation, but when I'm back, I'll also take a look
at it and see what we can do with buffer autotuning on Linux. I already
started end of last week to do some experimenting.

Thanks for all the links.
I will most certainly have a look at those i.e. pluggable cong.control
and auto buffer tuning and also open issues from the slides when I'm
back from vacation!
Cheers,
Daniel

Cool! If something happens, please keep me posted, it would be great to know if some of the stuff we did eventually led to something good! (plus, I could then update my pages accordingly)
Have a nice rest-of-vacation!
Cheers,
Michael

The best is if you subscribe to this list, as kernel patches are
always CC'ed here, too.
