Why <strong>TCP</strong>/IP Software is too Slow<br />

•CPU interrupt processing:<br />

An application that generates a write to a remote host over a network<br />

produces a series of interrupts to segment the data into packets <strong>and</strong><br />

process the incoming acknowledgments. H<strong>and</strong>ling each interrupt<br />

creates a significant amount of context switching<br />

•All these tasks end up taking 10s of thous<strong>and</strong>s of lines of code.<br />

•There are optimized versions of <strong>TCP</strong>/IP software running which<br />

acheive 10-30% performance improvement;<br />

•Question is: Is that enough<br />
