[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Pointers to performance studies on TCP/IP...

dheeraj@CHAKRA.CS.UMD.EDU (06/14/88)

Hi,
	I am doing a performance analysis of TCP/IP by  instrumenting
the code and monitoring the selected connections. I am extremely interested
in knowing about the other performance studies done so far. Any pointers
to papers/journals/reports etcetera would be greatly appreciated.

If somebody is interested, I am working on SUN3.0 modified locally to
include 4.3BSD networking code.

thanks in advance,
-dheeraj

Dheeraj,

The SATNET (Atlantic Packet Satellite Network) Measurement Taskforce
just completed some work analyzing TCP/IP performance over the SATNET.
As part of this effort, we developed an instrumented TCP/IP
implementation and a separate IP measurement tool.  For additional
information:
	a) Our experimental methodology, tools and results are
	   described in a paper to be presented at SIGCOMM 88
	   in August.  Send me your paper address if you'd like a 
	   copy.
	b) There will be 3 additional writeups describing the 
	   taskforce's work in more detail.  These will probably
	   be done by the end of the summer.  Let me know if you'd
	   like copies when they're complete.
	c) For specific details about the TCP and IP tools, please
	   contact:
		TCP tool: Jon Crowcroft (jon@cs.ucl.ac.uk) 
		IP tool:  Paal Spilling (paal@tor.nta.no) 

Let me know if you have further questions, 
Karen
