- An Analysis of 10-Gigabit Ethernet Protocol Stacks in Multicore Environments
- This paper analyzes the interactions between the protocol stack (TCP/IP or iWARP over 10-Gigabit Ethernet) and its multicore environment. Specially, for host-based protocols such as TCP/IP, one notices that a significant amount of processing is statically assigned to a single core, resulting in an imbalance of load on the different...
