Summary
Main issues of the Big Data processing includes not just computation or storing huge amount
of bytes but high speed transmission of these data between different nodes of the ICT system,
as well. Best effort based datagram delivery of the protocol data unit streams provides usable
time critical services just in networks having minimum bandwidth in the scale of n*10
Mbps. Although IntServ and DiffServ QoS mechanisms make possible for time critical data
flows to be forwarded in reasonable conditions, high speed transmission of the big data in
LAN/WAN environments remains hot topic. Different implementations of the TCP congestion
control mechanism with divisive efficiency of the transmission speed were developed by
research institutes, standardisation institutes and ICT companies in the last decades. The QoS
strategies applied in LAN environment are weakly usable in wide area data networks producing
low usage efficiency of the communication path traversing different ISPs. Comparison
and analysis of the representing high speed communication mechanisms existing today makes
possible to set configuration for best transmission performance. In our performance evaluation
framework we developed an measurement tool based on iperf and tcpdump software to capture
data flows of TCP and UDP sessions. Classification aspects of the measurement cases were:
homogeneity of the traffics (just TCP, just UDP, heterogeneous TCP and UDP), number of
parallel communication sessions (1...100) and type of the TCP congestion control algorithm
(16 different implementations). More than four hundred traffic scenarios were executed in a
dump-bell topology containing routers and Linux machines. Statistical analysis methods were
used to evaluate effects of the aspects mentioned above in the wireline local and metropolitan
area networks. All the research results of this framework serve as design and development
consideration of a high speed reliable file transfer application based on UDP protocol.
