许多高性能分布式应用程序仅使用其可用带宽的一小部分。此问题的常见原因不是应用程序设计中的缺陷，而是网络设置调整不当。适当的调整技术，例如设置正确的 TCP 缓冲区和使用并行流，在网络社区中是众所周知的，但在该社区之外，它们很少被应用。在本文中，我们描述了一种服务，它使应用程序开发人员和用户的网络调整任务变得微不足道。这项服务的广泛使用实际上应该消除高性能分布式应用程序的常见障碍。
Many high-performance distributed applications use only a small fraction of their available bandwidth. A common cause of this problem is not a flaw in the application design, but rather improperly tuned network settings. Proper tuning techniques, such as setting the correct TCP buffers and using parallel streams, are well-known in the networking community, but outside this community they are infrequently applied. In this paper, we describe a service that makes the task of network tuning trivial for application developers and users. Widespread use of this service should virtually eliminate a common stumbling block for high-performance distributed applications.
