Hi Krishna, These are facts that we have been aware of for a while. TIPC was originally designed for control signaling, and optimized for carrying packets smaller than 1500 bytes. It is only later that people has tried to use it for massive data transport, but here TCP has proved more efficient than TIPC, so far. For short messaging, TIPC was traditionally much faster than TCP, but performance took a beating when we introduced the code as a standard part of the kernel, due to compromises we had to make.
It is on the road-map to remedy this. We have identified a good potential for re-optimizing the code for both short and long message transfer, and this is one of the things we will focus on this year. I think Allan and Elmer can give more details about this. So, don't despair.
