ABSTRACT:: Networking software is a growing bottleneck in 
modern workstations, particularly for high throughput 
applications such as networked digital video. We measure
various components of the UDP/IP protocol stack in a DEC-
station 5000/200 running Ultrix 4.2a, and quantify the way
in which checksumming and copying dominate the processing time
for high throughput applications. This paper describes network
software measurements and substantial performance improvements
which derive from a faster checksum implementation.
