Abstract: The performance of network protocols on different usage scenarios differs significantly, making the protocol choice a difficult question. This had motivated a work that aims to evaluate the TCP, UDP and Sendfile (a POSIX-defined zero-copy TCP access technique) protocols on LAN, MAN and WAN environments, in order to find the most adequate configuration for each protocol. The protocols were evaluated on default configurations, without any application-specific optimizations.
