This article investigates the performance of grid computing systems whose interconnections are given by random and scale-free complex network models. Regular networks, which are common in parallel computing architectures, are also used as a…
We are interested in unicast traffic over wireless networks that employ constructive inter-session network coding, including single-hop and multi-hop schemes. In this setting, TCP flows do not fully exploit the network coding opportunities…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a standardized TCP extension which allows end-hosts to simultaneously exploit all of their network interfaces. The recent proliferation of dual-SIM mobile phones makes multi-LTE MPTCP setup an attractive option. We…
Quality of Service (QoS) in the IP world mainly manages forwarding resources, i.e., link capacities and buffer spaces. In addition, Information Centric Networking (ICN) offers resource dimensions such as in-network caches and forwarding…
IEEE specifies different modulation techniques for WiMAX; namely, BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM. This paper studies the performance of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) over Fixed WiMAX system considering different combinations of digital…
Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) enables scalability by interconnecting multiple QPUs. Among various DQC implementations, quantum data centers (QDCs), which utilize reconfigurable optical switch networks to link QPUs across different…
This paper presents and analyses the implementation of a novel active queue management (AQM) named FavorQueue that aims to improve delay transfer of short lived TCP flows over best-effort networks. The idea is to dequeue packets that do not…
In contrast to the classic fashion for designing distributed end-to-end (e2e) TCP schemes for cellular networks (CN), we explore another design space by having the CN assist the task of the transport control. We show that in the emerging…
Network operators utilize traffic monitoring to locate and fix faults or performance bottlenecks. This often relies on intrinsic protocol semantics, e.g., sequence numbers, that many protocols share implicitly through their packet headers.…
We study the performance of Weibull and scale free Internet-like networks and compare them to a classical random graph based network. The scaling of the traffic load with the nodal degree is established, and confimed in a numerical…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) allows applications to transparently use all available network interfaces by creating a TCP subflow per interface. One critical component of MPTCP is the scheduler that decides which subflow to use for each packet.…
Standards govern the SHOULD and MUST requirements for protocol implementers for interoperability. In case of TCP that carries the bulk of the Internets' traffic, these requirements are defined in RFCs. While it is known that not all…
The rapid adoption of QUIC as a transport protocol has transformed content delivery by reducing latency, enhancing congestion control (CC), and enabling more efficient multiplexing. With the advent of 5G networks, which support ultra-low…
The Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) architecture has the potential to reduce queuing delay when it is deployed at endpoints and routers throughout the Internet. However, it is not clear how TCP Prague, a prototype scalable…
Coded caching is a recently proposed technique that achieves significant performance gains for cache networks compared to uncoded caching schemes. However, this substantial coding gain is attained at the cost of large delivery delay, which…
Cryptographic protocols have been widely used to protect the user's privacy and avoid exposing private information. QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections), including the version originally designed by Google (GQUIC) and the version…
High throughput is of particular interest in data center and HPC networks. Although myriad network topologies have been proposed, a broad head-to-head comparison across topologies and across traffic patterns is absent, and the right way to…
Modern web pages have complex structures comprised of up to hundreds of different resources, such as scripts and images. Server push is an HTTP/2 feature enabling servers to preemptively send resources to clients before they realize they…
Optimistic concurrency control (OCC) can exploit the strengths of parallel hardware to provide excellent performance for uncontended transactions, and is popular in high-performance in-memory databases and transactional systems. But at high…
How do we assess a new Internet congestion control (CC) design? How do we compare it with other existing schemes? Under what scenarios and using what network parameters? These are just a handful of simple questions coming up every time a…
