What resources (books, Web pages etc) exist out there that:

  • explain the causes of latency in TCP/IP-over-Ethernet networks;
  • mention tools for looking out for things that cause latency (e.g. certain entries in netstat -s);
  • suggest ways to tweak the Linux TCP stack to reduce TCP latency (Nagle, socket buffers etc).

The closest I am aware of is this document, but it's rather brief.

Alternatively, you're welcome to answer the above questions directly.
