Boosting Socket Performance on Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everyone-likes-more dept.

Cop writes "The Sockets API lets you develop client and server applications that can communicate across a local network or across the world via the Internet. Like any API, you can use the Sockets API in ways that promote high performance -- or inhibit it. This article explores four ways to use the Sockets API to squeeze the greatest performance out your application and to tune the GNU/Linux® environment to achieve the best results."

    Just for those who might have been wanting to read it, here is the article that was going to be posted instead of this one.

    Quick blurb: The Bush Administration has an online pornography law that they previously tried to pass, and now they want to do it again. They have subpoenaed Google for information regarding what users look for through the search engine, in regards to pornography. Google however is refusing to disclose the information, calling it unjustified.

    The 1930's were a time of new ways of thinking and living for many Americans. With their livelihoods destroyed, many began to question the methods and machinations of capitalism. Some believed that other "isms" such as fascism or communism would supersede it. Others believed that the time for "isms" and other metastructures were over. A select few put their faith in the immutable succor provided by a tasty burger.

    Cecilia and Graham Davey were two such persons. These well-to-do socialities left their fashionable lives in Connecticut to venture West. Purchasing a parcel of land around San Diego, the brother and sister dubbed it "Burgesia," a utopian socialist colony open to all who could produce and distribute delicious hamburger steaks.

    You are currently known as "Rags." Like Cecilia and Graham, you are headed West. Although your reasons are more closely related to debts and minor criminal charges. While hopping the Pacific line, your threadbare hobo nose twitches with delight at the smell...Burgesia is approaching! Your heart jumps as you realize the tales that "Dirty Frank" and "Hi-Hat Harry" told you around the trash can fire were true. You throw your satchel over your shoulder and hop down off the train. You're ready for Burgesia-but is Burgesia ready for you?
