Daytona : A User-Level TCP Stack
Prashant Pradhan, Srikanth Kandula, Wen Qiang Xu, Anees Shaikh, Erich Nahum · 2002
This paper presents Daytona, a user-level TCP stack for Linux. A user-level TCP stack can be an invaluable tool for TCP performance research, network performance diagnosis, rapid prototyping and testing of new optimizations and enhancements to the TCP protocol, and as a tool for creating adaptive application-level overlays. We present the design and implementation of Daytona, and also describe several projects that are using Daytona in a rich variety of contexts, indicating its suitability as an open-source project.
