Subject: Re: Network performance - iperf
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:11:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <WC20100330121151.170078@digidescorp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4BB1C5A5.5070202@petalogix.com>

Looks like a lot of time spent in tcp_collapse(). I think there is assumption that the memcpys 
involved in collapsing lead to better throughput than packet retransmit, which on our platforms 
may not be the case. If so is there a way to tune when tcp_collapse gets invoked? I haven't 
seen one.
