Analysis of techniques to improve protocol processing latency
1996
Computer communication review
This paper describes several techniques designed to improve protocol latency, and reports on their effectiveness when measured on a modern RISC machine employing the DEC Alpha processor. We found that the memory system-which has long been known to dominate network throughput-is also a key factor in protocol latency. As a result, improving instruction cache effectiveness can greatly reduce protocol processing overheads. An important metric in this context is the memory cycles per instructions
