yup, that's what i also think. is it possible that nagle+delayed-ack is causing the perceived slow-down ? anupam On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 6:03 AM, Peter Teoh <htmldeveloper@gmail.com> wrote:
frankly it is not wise to disable nagle, and the solution i proposed (using netfilter extension) is really too tedious - the added overhead may slow down the processing, even though disabling nagle aims to improve latencies. but modern network card is so fast, that the bottleneck is not at the network card side, but more likely in the network gateway, or router side - so u are definitely not going to see improvement in spite of all the troubles.
