[e2e] FW: Performance evaluation of high speed TCPs

[rhee@ncsu.edu]

Doug,
The new bug patch was announced last week.
Unfortunately we are not THAT real time in updating the report :-)

Seriously, we can't run the tests for every fix and bug report. But
we are aware of your new patch posted last week on the e2e list and indeed
applied it to our testing platform for retesting.Now one test case is done
(thanks to Sangtae who spent a few sleepless nights to set up and re-run
the tests). These tests take time to  rerun and they are still going on
and when they are done, we will update the document.

At this point, i can confirm at least that HTCP performance looks a LOT
improved, but we still found a few new issues even with the updated
HTCP -- in the same performance areas that we pointed out in the
document, such as utilization and stability.  We are
looking to find out whether these issues are caused by side-effects of our
setup or by the HTCP algorithm itself.
As soon as we get some more confirmation on our findings we will update
the report. Please bear with us on this and stay tuned.

I hope our report and testing help the community in studying and improving
TCP performance.

Regards,
Injong
