Virus safety - good
Description: The goal is to make 100Mbps TCP streams over wide-area networks possible for general users.
No further Web100 updates are expected. The only recent changes have been the IPv6 userland bugfix (version 1.8) and the annotated tcp-kis backport below. While the national high-performance network infrastructure has grown tremendously both in bandwidth and accessibility, it is still common for applications, hosts, researchers and other users to be unable to take full advantage of this new and improved infrastructure. Without expert attention from network engineers, users are unlikely to achieve even 10 Mbps single stream TCP transfers, despite the fact that the underlying network infrastructure can support data rates of 100Mbps or more. On unloaded networks, this poor performance can be attributed primarily to two factors: host system software (principally TCP) that is optimized for low bandwidth environments, and the lack of effective instrumentation and tools to diagnose performance issues.
