SECTION #7 Debugging Network Throughput it helps if you have the associated bus analyzer. If you are writing a network driver, the correspon- ding protocol line sniffer eases your debugging effort. Debugging Network Throughput To obtain optimal network throughput, you need to design your network interface card (NIC) driver for high performance. Additionally, you need an in-depth understanding of the network protocol that your driver ferries. To get a flavor of how to debug network throughput problems, let's examine some device driver design issues and protocol implementation characteristics that can
