This demonstrates the importance of faster disk systems when high-speed data transfer
systems are use a in short-haul 10 Gb/s network. There is almost no different in behavior
between GridFTP and FDT, because they use the same CUBIC TCP for their transport layer
protocol. Using Jumbo frames decreased the performance of GridFTP and FDT slightly, but
decreased the fluctuation of the goodput. This is because while
