Exploring the Performance of Select-based Internet Servers
Tim B. Brecht, Michal Ostrowski · 2001
this paper is largely motivated by this recent work by Chandra and Mosberger [6]. We believe that their work demonstrates that even simple server designs exhibit a wide range of variation in performance that is not well understood. In this paper we attempt to characterize the behaviour of some of these design options and use these results to gain insight into some of the issues affecting server designs in general
