Info: Modern applications for high performance networking have universally turned towards RDMA and infiniband after declaring TCP/IP as too slow and inefficient. As discussed at LPC 2022 [1], the core of the Linux IP/TCP/ethernet networking stack is capable of running at very high speeds (line rates of existing NICs and next version), but changes are needed with respect to how the stack is used. This work examines the effort needed to use the well established TCP stack and its rich congestion control tools and algorithms with the modern high performance applications like Machine Learning and Storage Disaggregation.
