Cache Line optimization for cpu
- https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
- Up to 45% CPU performance increase by aligning cache lines
TCP Congestion Control
- slow start - begins transmission with a small congestion window and exponetnially increases it until a threshold is reached or packet loss is detected
- congestion avoidance - once a threshold is reached, TCP increases the congestion window linearly to probe for additional bandwidth
- fast retransmist and fast recovery - if packet loss is detected via duplicate acks, then it performs a fast retransmit
- Sequence number wrapping - TCP must handle the sequence number wrapping around
Nagle’s Algorithm
- 40ms delay in TCP
- Basically a buffer
- Note that TCP defaults haven’t really changed!
- Set
TCP_NODELAY
to prevent it
