•Half Duplex•Use carrier sense signal to determine if link in use• If not, send frame at head of queue•Else, wait for frame to end and send frame•Use collision detection signal to determine if other station also sends
•Full Duplex•Send packet at head of queue•Disable carrier sense •Disable collision detection

TCP Operation on LANTCP Operation on LAN
• Observed behavior depends on direction of TCP flow and direction of mismatch• Data and ACK packets delivered• Data packets lost and ACKs delayed• ACKs packets lost and Data delayed
• Losing ACKs has bigger effect than losing Data packets
• Web100 details are only available when NDT server is source and client is sink

Specific difficultiesSpecific difficulties
UDP• Iperf doesn’t always send at requested rate• Iperf sender hangs (likely Linux/iperf interaction – could be due to signal handling of the bwctl level)
•End of session is difficult to detect, which is problematic for a “scheduled” timeslot
• Iperf sometimes takes large amounts of time to finish
![Page 47: The Performance Bottleneck Application, Computer, or Network Richard Carlson Internet2 Part 3 Richard Carlson Internet2 Part 3.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033019/56649e205503460f94b0c523/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Specific difficultiesSpecific difficulties
TCP•Large pipe to small pipe
• Launch a large window
• Test waits until completion
• Terminate test to remain within scheduleSets of incomplete tests to interpret
•Full mesh presents difficulties for window size selection (and other path specific characteristics)
• bwctl uses the peer to peer server connection to deduce a “reasonable” window
• If at all possible path specific parameters need to be dynamically configured

Future PossibilitiesFuture Possibilities
•Server-less client side for end hosts•Closer integration with test engine (iperf API?)
•Better error detection•Better timing control (begin and end of test is currently a problem)
•3-party tests (client not on one of the endpoints)
•Open source development

•One-Way-Active-Measurement-Protocol•Possible due to growing availability of good time sources•Wide deployment of “open” servers would allow measurement of one-way delay to become as commonplace as measurement of RTT using ICMP tools such as ping.•Current Draft: draft-ietf-ippm-owdp-07.txt•Shalunov,Teitelbaum,Karp,Boote,Zekauskas•RFC just released
•Sample implementation under developmentAlpha code currently available

Abilene OWAMP deploymentAbilene OWAMP deployment
•2 overlapping full meshes (IPv4 & IPv6)•11 measurement nodes = 220 ongoing tests•UDP singletons•Rate: 10 packets/second*•Packetsize: (32 byte payload)*•Results are continuously streamed back to “Measurement Portal” for long-term archive and data dissemination (Near real-time)

OWAMP ErrorsOWAMP Errors
•Preliminary Findings:•Min error estimates look to be in the 55-60 usec range.•Serialization Delay: ~5usec x 2•Get Timestamp: ~15usec x 2•Additional error is:• Time from userland “send” to 1st byte hits the wire• Time from kernel has packet to userland “recv” returns•Potentially recv process data processing before calling “recv”
