Much of the current theory of networked control systems uses simple point-to-point communication models as an abstraction of the underlying network. As a result, the controller has very limited information on the network conditions and…
Increasingly stringent throughput and latency requirements in datacenter networks demand fast and accurate congestion control. We observe that the reaction time and accuracy of existing datacenter congestion control schemes are inherently…
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) continues to be the dominant transport protocol on the Internet. The stability of fluid models has been a key consideration in the design of TCP and the performance evaluation of TCP algorithms. Based on…
Today's networks are controlled assuming pre-compressed and packetized data. For video, this assumption of data packets abstracts out one of the key aspects - the lossy compression problem. Therefore, first, this paper develops a framework…
In data centers, the nature of the composite bursty traffic along with the small bandwidth-delay product and switch buffers lead to several congestion problems that are not handled well by traditional congestion control mechanisms such as…
MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) is a promising protocol which brings new light to the TCP/IP protocol stack ossification problem by means of an impactful innovation of the transport layer. A MPTCP connection consists of a set of one or more subflows,…
The congestion control algorithm of TCP relies on correct feedback from the receiver to determine the rate at which packets should be sent into the network. Hence, correct receiver feedback (in the form of TCP acknowledgements) is essential…
Over the past years, TCP has gone through numerous updates to provide performance enhancement under diverse network conditions. However, with respect to losses, little can be achieved with legacy TCP detection and recovery mechanisms. Both…
The goal of congestion control is to avoid congestion in network elements. A network element is congested if it is being offered more traffic than it can process. To detect such situations and to neutralize them we should monitor traffic in…
Filtering packet traffic and rules of permit/denial of data packets into network nodes are granted by facilitating Access Control Lists (ACL). This paper proposes a procedure of adding a link load threshold value to the access control list…
