Results on the Myrinet Testbed

The Myrinet testbed was made up of four machines interconnected through two switches. The topology is given in Figure 12. In addition, these machines were also connected through a separate Ethernet layer. The connections were established from a sender HEC to a receiver HEC via two SECs.

On this testbed, we ran the establishment procedure over both Myrinet and Ethernet and using the earlier described communication schemes - Cached TCP and Reliable UDP. The results are presented in Table 2.
