The scope of Network Distributed Computing (NDC) is quite impressive. This chapter presents an overview of some of the many relevant areas of NDC research and development today. If you’re looking for a solid overview of all things NDC — from the Semantic Web, P2P, and Pervasive Computing to Distributed Databases, Filesystems, Media, and Storage — you’ve come to the right place.Elsewhere, this article describes some of key Transport Control Protocol (TCP) tunable parameters related to performance tuning. More importantly, it describes how these tunables work, how they interact with each other, and how they impact network traffic when they are modified.

A very nice article. Certainly made me think. A bit Sun-centric, but that is probably earnt.
excellent article… very high content to space ratio! unlike the mounds of “linux install was easy” and “X exec predicts Y will happen” news.
having read osnews for yeard now, these informative and scientific articles have always had a good response
