TCP_CORK is good for your server

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

Christopher Baus has a great article on TCP_CORK.


Hopefully this weekend I can do some tcpdump action on apache, and look at how much packet fragmentation there is, since Apache does not use TCP_CORK, but instead it only uses TCP_NODELAY, which can result in non-optimal conditions if you do many small write()s.
