SlimTCP is a TCP/IP stack written to answer the question: Would a trimmed-down TCP stack run faster in modern datacenters(Ultra Ethernet)?
According to my benchmarks, it achieves twice the goodput of mTCP on one connection. It also maintains 99.5% of its goodput on 4096 connections, while mTCP maintains 95%.
Yet, I'm still uncertain whether it's faster because it's simpler or because I overworked it.
