The peculiar congestion patterns in data centers are caused by the bursty and composite nature of traffic, the small bandwidth-delay product, and the tiny switch buffers. It is not practical to modify TCP to adapt to data centers,…
Time-sensitive services (TSSs) have been widely envisioned for future sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks. Due to its inherent low-latency advantage, mobile edge computing (MEC) will be an indispensable enabler for TSSs.…
This paper introduces Nimbus, a robust technique to detect whether the cross traffic competing with a flow is "elastic", and shows that this elasticity detector improves congestion control. If cross traffic is inelastic, then a sender can…
Recently, different communities in computer science, telecommunication and control systems have devoted a huge effort towards the design of energy efficient solutions for data transmission and network management. This paper collocates along…
Fair queuing is becoming increasingly prevalent in the internet and has been shown to improve performance in many circumstances. Performance could be improved even more if endpoints could detect the presence of fair queuing on a certain…
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…
Various congestion control protocols have been designed to achieve high performance in different network environments. Modern online learning solutions that delegate the congestion control actions to a machine cannot properly converge in…
Wireless networks are becoming ever more sophisticated and overcrowded, imposing the most delay, jitter, and throughput damage to end-to-end network flows in today's internet. We therefore argue for fine-grained mobile endpoint-based…
Electric vehicles (EVs) are finally making their way onto the roads. However, the challenges concerning their long charging times and their impact on congestion of the power distribution grid are still waiting to be resolved. With…
High-performance computing (HPC) systems frequently experience congestion leading to significant application performance variation. However, the impact of congestion on application runtime differs from application to application depending…
We propose a mechanism that incorporates network coding into TCP with only minor changes to the protocol stack, thereby allowing incremental deployment. In our scheme, the source transmits random linear combinations of packets currently in…
Modern data centers suffer from immense power consumption. As a result, data center operators have heavily invested in capacity scaling solutions, which dynamically deactivate servers if the demand is low and activate them again when the…
In heterogeneous networks, achieving congestion avoidance is difficult because the congestion feedback from one subnetwork may have no meaning to source on other other subnetworks. We propose using changes in round-trip delay as an implicit…
This paper investigates hardware-based memory compression designs to increase the memory bandwidth. When lines are compressible, the hardware can store multiple lines in a single memory location, and retrieve all these lines in a single…
The bandwidth of a kernel function is a crucial parameter in the mean shift algorithm. This paper proposes a novel adaptive bandwidth strategy which contains three main contributions. (1) The differences among different adaptive bandwidth…
Advancement of mobile technologies has enabled economical collection, storage, processing, and sharing of traffic data. These data are made accessible to intended users through various application program interfaces (API) and can be used to…
Active Queue Management (AQM) for mitigating Internet congestion has been addressed via various feedback control syntheses, among which P, PI, and PID regulators are quite popular and often associated to a Smith predictor. Here, to better…
Capacity expansions as well as its reduction have been widely anticipated as important countermeasures for traffic congestion. Although capacity expansion had been traditionally well noticed as a congestion mitigation measure, but it was…
Low delay is an explicit requirement for applications such as cloud gaming and video conferencing. Delay-based congestion control can achieve the same throughput but significantly smaller delay than loss-based one and is thus ideal for…
Network tomography plays a crucial role in assessing the operational status of internal links within networks through end-to-end path-level measurements, independently of cooperation from the network infrastructure. However, the accuracy of…
