Collaborative Research: SDCI Net Improvement: Web10Gig - Taking TCP instrumentation to the Next Level

Web10Gig项目使来自最广泛领域和技术能力的普通用户能够有效地充分利用网络。与Web10Gig项目相关的研究建立在非常成功的Web100项目的基础上，该项目的原型软件在项目资金结束六年后仍在大量使用。在Web10Gig下，研究人员在现有的Web100原型的基础上，产生一个标准的TCP工具的产品质量实现，并将其培训为包括在Linux主线中。它消除了与原始Web100软件套件相关的开发障碍，解决了Web100原型实现中的一些弱点，并将非内核代码迁移到一个公开的开放源代码开发站点，任何人都可以在该站点上做出未来的添加和改进。由于Web10 Gig代码传播给所有Linux用户，因此它能够在所有类型的Internet应用程序下进行网络测量和诊断。就像在它之前开发的自动调优软件一样，它将在其他操作系统上复制，这样每个人，无论是Linux用户还是非Linux用户，都将受益于拥有标准的TCP工具。一旦被合并到Linux主线中，TCP工具就超越了Web10Gig调查人员的控制，在那里由商业世界通过生产实现以及实际使用代码的研究人员和开发人员进行维护。

The Web10Gig Project enables ordinary users, from the broadest range of fields and technical abilities, to effectively use the network to its full capacity. The research associated with the Web10Gig project builds upon the very successful Web100 project, whose prototype software is still heavily used six years beyond the end of the project funding. Under Web10Gig, the investigators produce a produce a production quality implementation of standard TCP instrumentation, based on the existing Web100 prototype, and groom it for inclusion in the Linux main line. It eliminates barriers to development associated with the original Web100 software suite, addresses a number of weaknesses in the Web100 prototype implementation and migrates the non-kernel code to a public open source code development site where anyone can contribute future additions and improvements.As the Web10 Gig code propagates out to all Linux users it enables network measurement and diagnosis underneath all types of Internet applications. Like the autotuning software developed before it, it will be replicated in other operating systems, such that everybody, Linux user or not will reap to the benefits of having standard TCP instrumentation. Once incorporated into the Linux main line, the TCP instrumentation passes beyond the control of the Web10Gig investigators where maintained by the commercial world through production implementations and the researchers and developers actually using the code.
