9. Technical Summary Transmission-Rate-Controlled TCP
We removed TCP related difficulties
Standard TCP
I/O bus bandwidth is the bottleneck
7.21 Gbps at 1500B Ethernet frame size
TCP offloading engine
Cheap and simple servers can enjoy 10Gbps network
> 30,000 km 10Gbps network (500ms RTT)
16　Network and Research Institutes, 37 persons
Lack of methodology in high-performance network debugging
3 day debugging (overnight working)
1 day stable period (usable for measurements)
Network may feel exhausted, some trouble must happen
