Specific practices include: bandwidth-delay product and TCP buffer tuning; Linux buffer autotuning; congestion, link loss and TCP performance; common causes of link losses; choice of TCP algorithm, performance and fairness; applications design. Tools include: what do ping and traceroute actually measure; using iperf and ttcp, using Web100 kernel patches, NDT.
