Abstract 

The Reflection Server Tuning dataset contains HiPerConTracer latency measurements performed in a lab setup. The purpose of the dataset is to measure the latency and jitter effects of  firewalls and Linux kernel tuning. The details of each test are published in the paper Evang, Jan Marius and Dreibholz, Thomas: «Optimizing Network Latency: Unveiling the Impact of Reflection Server Tuning» (PDF, 422 KiB), in Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Recent Advances for Multi-Clouds and Mobile Edge Computing (M2EC) in conjunction with the 38th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA), Kitakyushu, Fukuoka/Japan, April 2024.

Instructions: 

The dataset comes in two formats:

  • HiPerConTracer Results raw measurement files
  • Comma-Separated Values (CSV) combined results

Files:

  • measurements.tar: Tar archive of raw measurements in HiPerConTracer format, XZ-compressed, one file per measurement ID
  • combined-results.csv: Combined results of all measurements in a CSV file
