Netstacklat scripts and configuration files - IMC26

This repository contains scripts and configuration files used for the testbed experiments in the paper "Waiting at the front door: Continuous monitoring of latency in the host network stack" submitted to the ACM Internet Measurement Conference 2026.

Testbed topology

The testbed used a simple chain toplogy with 3 nodes:

load-generator <---> DuT <---> origin server

The load-generator generates a HTTP workload to different nginx and Apache2 servers running on the DuT. The netstacklat tool was used to monitor the local host latency on DuT during the tests. For reverse proxy configurations, the DuT fetches the resources from the origin server.

Manifest
