Abstract
Progress in the field of high speed networking and dis- tributed applications has led to adebate in the research community on the suitability of existing protocols such as TCP/IP for emerging applications over high-speed net- works. Protocols have to operate in a complex environment comprisedof various operating systems, host architectures, and a rapidly growing and evolving internet of several het- erogeneous subnetworks. Thus, evaluation of protocols is definitely a challenging task that cannot be achieved by studying protocols in isolation. This paper presents results of a study which attempts to characterize the performance of the SunOS Inter-Process Communication (IPC) and TCP/IP protocols for distributed, high-bandwidthapplica- tions.Keywords
