Abstract

In the process of testing improvements to the Linux DCTCP code in various scenarios, we found different performance problems kept surfacing with no apparent pattern. This report records a systematic sequence of experiments designed to track down the causes of these problems, which were found to be due to a complex tangle of bugs and flaws. The report also provides and evaluates solutions in each case.
