# Exploration of TCP Parameters for Enhanced Performance in a Datacenter Environment

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how adjusting TCP parameters can significantly improve network performance specifically in datacenter environments, which differ from typical home settings.

## Contribution

It identifies key TCP parameters affecting performance and proposes criteria for their modification tailored to datacenter networks.

## Key findings

- TCP parameter adjustments lead to performance gains in datacenter simulations
- Key TCP parameters differ in impact between home and datacenter environments
- Simulation results validate the effectiveness of proposed parameter modifications

## Abstract

TCP parameters in most of the operating systems are optimized for generic home and office environments having low latencies in their internal networks. However, this arrangement invariably results in a compromized network performance when same parameters are straight away slotted into a datacenter environment. We identify key TCP parameters that have a major impact on network performance based on the study and comparative analysis of home and datacenter environments. We discuss certain criteria for the modification of TCP parameters and support our analysis with simulation results that validate the performance improvement in case of datacenter environment.
