Support for high performance UDP/TCP applications Xing Li 2007-08-25
Background • More and more demonstration and trials on high-performance applications • Application-specific stream or data • Consume large network bandwidth • Heavily rely on network support • What can NOC do to support for it? • If there is a lambda path • lucky! • RTT is still an issue • Otherwise • Measurement and monitoring • Network performance measurement tool • Application-specific measurement tools • End to end performance guarantee • Inter-AS routing adjustment • Agreement on enabling application-related ACLs

Case study In KR It is not via the CERNET – KR path It is not via the CERNET– APAN – KR path It is not via the CERNET – TEIN2 – KR path It is not via the CERNET – TEIN2 – JP – KR path It is via the CERNET – APAN – Abilene – KR path And the return path may be totally different
The Ideas • Use measurement tools to • Help users to do self-service • Separate the network problems from the end system problems • Find the network segments which cause the problem
From Arlington to TEIN2 Beijing server using WALNNot good using RJ45Good
TCP transfer speed Formula Theory SUN §WINDOWS
The testing steps • Default test • The default TCP transfer speed for the e2e peer • Window size test • Check the client window • Parallel session test • Check the server window • Physical speed limit • Comparison with ping and UDP (dvping) tests • Check packet loss (ping and dvping) • Check RTT (ping and dvping) • Check throughput (dvping)
Comparison with UDP (dvping) • Compare with UDP (dvping) • Check RTT, packet loss and the physical speed limit

Summary • Application specific tools • dvping (UDP) • iperf (TCP/UDP) • Distributed servers alone the path • Scalable Application Specific Measurement (SASM) • Open traffic monitoring • SNMP • Netflow • Applications • TCP vs. UDP • International collaboration
