A small set of recent results with linux 2.6.23.9 are at http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/net-2.6.23.9/sack_efficiency One of serious cases with a large number of packet losses (initial loss is around 8000 packets) is at http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/net-2.6.23.9/sack_efficiency/600--TCP-TCP-NONE--400-3-1.0--1000-120-0-0-1-1-5-500--1.0-0.5-133000-73-3000000-0.93-150--3/ Also, there is a comparison among three Linux kernels (2.6.13, 2.6.18-rc4, 2.6.20.3) at http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/Efficiency_of_SACK_processing Sangtae -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
