For applications built over an unreliable network like the Internet, TCP is a godsend that hides a lot of the inherent complexity in building networked applications. A laundry list of TCP features that application developers rely on every day includes: retransmission of lost data, in-order data delivery, data integrity, and congestion control. This arti...

| What happens with I/O requests over NFS and more specifically with Oracle? How does NFS affect performance and what things can be done to improve performance?What happens at the TCP layer when I request with dd an 8K chunk of data off an NFS mounted file system?Here is one example:I do add if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=8k count=1where my output file is on an NFS mount, I see the TCP send and receives from NFS server to client as:(the code is in dtrace and runs on the server side, seetcp.dfor the code
