  1. SlimTCP is a lightweight, high-performance TCP/IP stack for modern datacenters 1 comment

    • SlimTCP is a TCP/IP stack written to answer the question: Would a trimmed-down TCP stack run faster in modern datacenters(Ultra Ethernet)? According to my benchmarks, it achieves twice the goodput of mTCP on one connection. It also maintains 99.5% of its goodput on 4096…
