增加服务器tcp处理时间戳,网络-TCP时间戳赋予了什么好处？

答案最简洁地用RFC 1323-往返测量... RFC的介绍也提供了一些相关的历史背景...

Introduction

The introduction of fiber optics is resulting in ever-higher

transmission speeds, and the fastest paths are moving out of the

domain for which TCP was originally engineered. This memo defines a

set of modest extensions to TCP to extend the domain of its

application to match this increasing network capability. It is based

upon and obsoletes RFC-1072 [Jacobson88b] and RFC-1185 [Jacobson90b].

(3) Round-Trip Measurement

TCP implements reliable data delivery by retransmitting

segments that are not acknowledged within some retransmission

timeout (RTO) interval. Accurate dynamic determination of an

appropriate RTO is essential to TCP performance. RTO is

determined by estimating the mean and variance of the

measured round-trip time (RTT), i.e., the time interval

between sending a segment and receiving an acknowledgment for

it [Jacobson88a].

Section 4 introduces a new TCP option, "Timestamps", and then

defines a mechanism using this option that allows nearly

every segment, including retransmissions, to be timed at

negligible computational cost. We use the mnemonic RTTM

(Round Trip Time Measurement) for this mechanism, to

distinguish it from other uses of the Timestamps option.

通过禁用时间戳而导致的特定性能损失将取决于您的特定服务器操作系统以及您的操作方式(例如，请参阅此PSC文档，了解性能调整)。 某些操作系统要求您一次启用或禁用所有RFC1323选项...其他操作系统允许您有选择地启用RFC 1323选项。

如果您的数据传输因某种程度上受到虚拟服务器的限制(也许您只购买了便宜的vhost计划)，那么也许您无论如何都无法使用更高的性能……也许值得将它们关闭以进行尝试。 如果这样做，请确保在可能的情况下在几个不同的位置对基准性能进行基准测试。
