I don't really understand what those 10 MB are.
because that limits the maximum SO_SNDBUF (and RCV) value you can give to the kernel, anyway i've keeped a little margin because some progs change the value you pass them doing the setsockopt i think you can safely ignore/reduce the margin (and also divide by 2) anyway it doesn't cause any problem/error
How is cwnd measured ?
take a look at www.web100.org
Besides those settings, were there any tcp buffers set manually (via setsockopt()) ?
no, because the buffer, if needed, auto-grows until max size is reached
Could you give me more details about the machines' configuration as well as the underlying network ?
they've gigabit ethernet cards, the latency between them is changed using netem Regards, Angelo P. Castellani - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
