Exploration of TCP Parameters for Enhanced Performance in a Datacenter Environment
share
TCP parameters in most of the operating systems are optimized for generic home and office environments having low latencies in their internal networks. However, this arrangement invariably results in a compromized network performance when same parameters are straight away slotted into a datacenter environment. We identify key TCP parameters that have a major impact on network performance based on the study and comparative analysis of home and datacenter environments. We discuss certain criteria for the modification of TCP parameters and support our analysis with simulation results that validate the performance improvement in case of datacenter environment.
