hey guys
|
|
[01:33] unomystEz
|
anyone know of a good document that describes low-latency networking at the kernel level? ie, packet comes in the NIC, through the driver, in the kernel, etc..

jomofo: ok, it's your call

mikko__: sorry, it was just a roundtrip, no evening spare for having a beer
|
|
[05:40] sustrik
|
unomystEz: it depends on operating system
|
|
[05:42] sustrik
|
for Linux there's say "TCP/IP architecture, design and Implementation in Linux" book
|
|
[05:42] sustrik
|
etc.
|
|

|
unomystEz: btw, i recall an interesting presentation about Open-MX
|
|
[06:26] sustrik
|
not a standard kernel, rather kernel-bypass HPC networking

sustrik, interesting material
|
|
[14:08] sustrik
|
depends on what you are interested in
|
|
[14:08] sustrik
|
hacking networking stack in kernel?
|
|
[14:08] unomystEz
|
for now, I'm interested mostly in learning how the current TCP/IP stack is implemented in Linux
|
|
[14:09] unomystEz
|
and what the bottlenecks and scalability issues are
|
|
[14:09] sustrik
|
ah, the book i've mentioned is pretty detailed
|
|
[14:09] unomystEz
|
with respect to both throughput and latency
|
|
[14:09] unomystEz
|
nice
|
|
[14:09] unomystEz
|
I"ll have to order it
|
|
[14:09] sustrik
|
a bit boring but detailed :)
|
|
[14:09] sustrik
|
also, i believe it's about 2.4 kernel
|
|
[14:10] sustrik
|
but the NW stack haven't changed that much since
|
|
[14:10] unomystEz
|
im reading 'Professional Linux Architecture' right now
|
|
[14:10] unomystEz
|
^ Kernel
|
|
[14:10] sustrik
|
also, the video i've sent the link to is worth viewing
|
|
[14:10] unomystEz
|
im reading the slides now
|
|
[14:10] sustrik
|
the guy has heavy french accent
|
|
[14:10] unomystEz
|
haha
|
|
[14:11] sustrik
|
but it's rather relevant
|
|
[14:11] unomystEz
|
where are you from?
|
|
[14:11] sustrik
|

|
|
[14:11] sustrik
|
slovakia
|
|
[14:11] unomystEz
|
nice
|
|
[14:11] unomystEz
|
I'm part slovakian
|
|
[14:12] unomystEz
|
miss the food
|
|
[14:12] sustrik
|
ah
|
|
[14:12] sustrik
|
where are you based now?
|
|
[14:12] unomystEz
|
NYC
|
|
[14:12] sustrik
|
far away
|
|
[14:12] unomystEz
|
yup
|
|
[14:15] unomystEz
|
what are you guys using 0mq for?
|
|
[14:18] unomystEz
|
omg
|
|
[14:18] unomystEz
|
that's the worst french accent I've ever heard
|
|
[14:26] sustrik
|
:)
|
|
[14:26] unomystEz
|
im gonna go out and buy that book instead
|
|
[14:27] unomystEz
|
he doesn't explain a lot of the concepts
|
|
[14:27] unomystEz
|
he's basically just commenting on his slides
|
|
[14:27] sustrik
|
yeah, but it's more about high-perf
|
|
[14:27] sustrik
|
the book is about how the standard stack works
|
|
[14:27] unomystEz
|
true
|
|
[14:27] sustrik
|
not sure whether there's relevant literature about high-perf networking
|
|
[14:28] sustrik
|
in kernel
|
|
[14:28] unomystEz
|
well, i read the zeromq docs
|
|
[14:28] sustrik
|
pretty small niche
|
|
[14:28] unomystEz
|
which were pretty good
|
|
[14:28] sustrik
|
a bit messy and uncomplete though
|
|
[14:28] sustrik
|
anyway, good resource are hard to be found in the area
|
|
[23:25] mikko
|
sustrik: ah, i guessed you are busy when visiting
