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 />
