Subject: TCP performance drop 2.6.6->2.6.7
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 23:18:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <425C493B.5040206@ev-en.org> (raw)

Hello,

I'm trying to port my H-TCP and SACK improvements to 2.6.11, but I seem 
to hit performance problems that are unrelated to what I worked on so far.

My tests show that between 2.6.6 and 2.6.7 the TCP performance dropped 
considerably.

The setup for the tests, vanilla kernels, dummynet with 100 Mbit/s and 
40ms rtt using the BIC protocol. No patches applied whatsoever.

iperf tests for 2.6.6 get about 90Mbit/s while 2.6.7 gets 30Mbit/s.

I was wondering if someone can think of a reason why this happens?

Is there a way to get the different network related patches between 
these two versions? I don't have access to bk to get it myself.

Baruch
