+% Registration Networking Driver Performance and Measurement - e1000 A
+% Case Study
+% Proposal John A Ronciak (john.ronciak@intel.com)
+
+Networking performance is a popular topic in Linux and
+is becoming more critical for achieving good overall
+system performance. This paper takes a look at what was
+done in the e1000 driver to improve performance by (a)
+increasing throughput and (b) reducing of CPU
+utilization. A lot of work has gone into the e1000
+Ethernet driver as well into the PRO/1000 Gigabit
+Ethernet hardware in regard to both of these
+performance attributes This paper covers the major
+things that were done to both the driver and to the
+hardware to improve many of the aspects of Ethernet
+network performance. The paper covers performance
+improvements due to the contribution from the Linux
+community and from the Intel group responsible for both
+the driver and hardware. The paper describes
+optimizations to improve small packet performance for
+applications like packet routers, VoIP, etc. and those
+for standard and jumbo packets and how those
+modifications differs from the small packet
+optimizations. A discussion on the tools and utilities
+used to measure performance and ideas for other tools
+that could help to measure performance are presented.
+Some of the ideas may require help from the community
+for refinement and implementation.
