In this talk we describe the SABUL application level library for high performance data transport. SABUL combines a UDP data channel with a TCP control channel. SABUL uses the TCP control channel to provide reliable data transport. SABUL also employs a rate control and congestion control algorithm so that it is friendly to both TCP and other SABUL streams. In this talk we describe both experimental and simulation studies using SABUL.
SABUL has been used to move geoscience data between Chicago and Amsterdam at over 950 Mb/s (limited only by the 1 Gb/s NIC). A striped version of SABUL was used at iGrid 02 to move data between two three-node clusters located in Chicago and Amsterdam at over 2.8 G/bs. The SABUL library is being developed as an open source project at Source Forge and is available for deployment in applications today.
