This is my latest capture, plz see Google Drive. In the latest test, TCP(0s-120s) is about 9Mbps and SCTP(0s-120s) is about 18Mbps. (The bandwidth(20Mbps) and delay(200ms) is set by dummynet) The SCTP and TCP are tested in same environment. =E2=80=8B sctp.pcapng.gz =E2=80=8B=E2=80=8B tcp.pcapng.gz =E2=80=8B Regards, Niu Zhixiong =EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF= =BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D=EF=BC=8D kaiaixi@gmail.com On Sun, Aug 10, 2014 at 10:23 AM, John-Mark Gurney wrote= : > Niu Zhixiong wrote this message on Sun, Aug 10, 2014 at 10:12 +0800: > > During the TCP4 transmission. > > Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (stat= e) > > tcp4 0 2097346 10.0.10.2.13504 10.0.10.3.9000 > > ESTABLISHED > > Ok, so you are getting a full 2MB in there, and w/ that, you should > easily be saturating your pipe... > > The next thing would be to get a tcpdump, and take a look at the > window size..
