Abstract
Specification-driven monitoring is a novel technique for systematically analyzing the functional and temporal behavior of a system starting from specification to the implementation with the help of monitoring. This paper briefly shows the method and the tools belonging to it. The main part comprises a measurement study of a TCP/IP protocol stack fully specified in SDL. This study shows, how the TCP protocol stack was analyzed and improved in terms of correctness and performance. After correcting a difficult error in the runtime system, the throughput of the system improved by a factor of 10.
