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

Traditional methods to reduce <strong>TCP</strong>/IP overhead offer limited gains:<br />

•After an application sends data across a network, several data movement<br />

<strong>and</strong> protocol-processing steps occur. These <strong>and</strong> other <strong>TCP</strong> activities<br />

consume critical host resources:<br />

• The application writes the transmit data to the <strong>TCP</strong>/IP sockets interface for<br />

transmission in payload sizes ranging from 4 KB to 64 KB.<br />

• The OS segments the data into maximum transmission unit (MTU)–size<br />

packets, <strong>and</strong> then adds <strong>TCP</strong>/IP header information to each packet.<br />
