Unlike traditional file transfer where only total delay matters, streaming applications impose delay constraints on each packet and require them to be in order. To achieve fast in-order packet decoding, we have to compromise on the…
With developments of real-time applications into data centers, the need for alternatives of the standard TCP protocol has been prime demand in several applications of data centers. The several alternatives of TCP protocol has been proposed…
This paper develops the time-delay approach to Networked Control Systems (NCSs) in the presence of variable transmission delays, sampling intervals and communication constraints. The system sensor nodes are supposed to be distributed over a…
Recently, HTTP-Based Adaptive Streaming has become the de facto standard for video streaming over the Internet. It allows the client to adapt media characteristics to varying network conditions in order to maximize Quality of Experience…
Feedback control protocols can stabilize and enhance the operation of quantum devices, however, unavoidable delays in the feedback loop adversely affect their performance. We introduce a quantum control methodology, combining open-loop…
Modern scientific instruments generate data at rates that increasingly exceed local compute capabilities and, when paired with the staging and I/O overheads of file-based transfers, also render file-based use of remote HPC resources…
This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of an operating system module, the Congestion Manager (CM), which provides integrated network flow management and exports a convenient programming interface that allows applications to…
Congestion on the Internet is an old problem but still a subject of intensive research. The TCP protocol with its AIMD (Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease) behavior hides very challenging problems; one of them is to understand…
Data centers are on the rise and scientists are re-thinking and re-designing networks for data centers. The concept of central control which was not effective in the Internet era is now gaining popularity and is used in many data centers…
Clock synchronization has become essential to modern societies since many critical infrastructures depend on a precise notion of time. This paper analyzes security aspects of high-precision clock synchronization protocols, particularly…
Scaling data storage is a significant concern in enterprise systems and Storage Area Networks (SANs) are deployed as a means to scale enterprise storage. SANs based on Fibre Channel have been used extensively in the last decade while iSCSI…
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has emerged as an increasingly popular paradigm for video streaming [13], in which a video is segmented into many chunks delivered to users by HTTP request/response over Transmission Control…
When IP-packet processing is unconditionally carried out on behalf of an operating system kernel thread, processing systems can experience overload in high incoming traffic scenarios. This is especially worrying for embedded real-time…
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server overload management has attracted interest since SIP is being widely deployed in the Next Generation Networks (NGN) as a core signaling protocol. Yet all existing SIP overload control work is…
Delay tolerant Ad-hoc Networks make use of mobility of relay nodes to compensate for lack of permanent connectivity and thus enable communication between nodes that are out of range of each other. To decrease delivery delay, the information…
Network traffic analysis increasingly uses complex machine learning models as the internet consolidates and traffic gets more encrypted. However, over high-bandwidth networks, flows can easily arrive faster than model inference rates. The…
The overall performance of a distributed system is highly dependent on the communication efficiency of the system. Although network resources (links, bandwidth) are becoming increasingly more available, the communication performance of data…
Interactive applications with automated feedback will largely influence the design of future networked infrastructures. In such applications, status information about an environment of interest is captured and forwarded to a compute node,…
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.…
In this paper, we focus on the experimental evaluation of TCP over the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), an upgrade of UMTS that is getting worldwide deployment. Today, this is particularly important in view of the "liberalization"…
