Congestion control algorithms rely on a variety of congestion signals (packet loss, Explicit Congestion Notification, delay, etc.) to achieve fast convergence, high utilization, and fairness among flows. A key limitation of these congestion…
Decentralized intersection control techniques have received attention in the literature as tools that address scalability issues of network intersection control. Chief among these techniques are backpressure (BP) control algorithms, which…
We study TCP flows coexistence between Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) and other TCP applications, by taking World of Warcraft (WoW) and a file transfer application based on File Transfer Protocol (FTP) as an…
Packet losses in the network significantly impact network performance. Most TCP variants reduce the transmission rate when detecting packet losses, assuming network congestion, resulting in lower throughput and affecting bandwidth-intensive…
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) was introduced in 2001 as a multipath variant to traditional transport protocols, i.e. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT) has…
TCP is the dominating transmission protocol in the Internet since decades. It proved its flexibility to adapt to unknown and changing network conditions. A distinguished TCP feature is the comparably fair resource sharing. Unfortunately,…
The proliferation of artificial intelligence applications on edge devices necessitates efficient transport protocols that leverage multi-homed connectivity across heterogeneous networks. While Multipath TCP enables bandwidth aggregation,…
Congestion control has been an open research issue for more than two decades. More and more applications with narrow latency requirements are emerging which are not well addressed by existing proposals. In this paper we present TCP Scalable…

Recently, several Test Case Prioritization (TCP) techniques have been proposed to order test cases for achieving a goal during test execution, particularly, revealing faults sooner. In the Model-Based Testing (MBT) context, such techniques…
How to implement an impeccable space system-of-systems (SoS) internetworking architecture has been a significant issue in system engineering for years. Reliable data transmission is considered one of the most important technologies of space…
A few months ago, the BitTorrent developers announced that the transfer of torrent data in the official client was about to switch to uTP, an application-layer congestion-control protocol using UDP at the transport-layer. This announcement…
The internet is now-a-days experiencing a stress due to some inherent problems with the main interdomain routing protocol, boarder gateway protocol (BGP), the amount of time it takes to converge, number of update message exchanged followed…
Modern networks exhibit a high degree of variability in link rates. Cellular network bandwidth inherently varies with receiver motion and orientation, while class-based packet scheduling in datacenter and service provider networks induces…
In spite of its long and successful history, TCP is a poor transport protocol for modern datacenters. Every significant element of TCP, from its stream orientation to its expectation of in-order packet delivery, is wrong for the datacenter.…
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…
