The bittide mechanism enables logically synchronous computation across distributed systems by leveraging the continuous frame transmission inherent to wired networks such as Ethernet. Instead of relying on a global clock, bittide uses a…

Network-assisted congestion control leveraging Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is an effective way to deal with congestion issues on the Internet. However, we believe that the existing ECN mechanism in the TCP/IP protocol stack may…

BitTorrent, one of the most widespread used P2P application for file-sharing, recently got rid of TCP by introducing an application-level congestion control protocol named uTP. The aim of this new protocol is to efficiently use the…

Today's high-speed switches employ an on-chip shared packet buffer. The buffer is becoming increasingly insufficient as it cannot scale with the growing switching capacity. Nonetheless, the buffer needs to face highly intense bursts and…

NAT gateway is an important network system in today's IPv4 network when translating a private IPv4 address to a public address. However, traditional NAT system based on Linux Netfilter cannot achieve high network throughput to meet modern…

Initially TCP was designed with the notion in mind that wired networks are generally reliable and any segment loss in a transmission is due to congestion in the network rather than an unreliable medium (The assumptions is that the packet…

Spectral-domain CNNs have been shown to be more efficient than traditional spatial CNNs in terms of reducing computation complexity. However they come with a `kernel explosion' problem that, even after compression (pruning), imposes a high…

Most Internet traffic is carried by capacity-seeking protocols such as TCP and QUIC. Capacity-seeking protocols probe to find the maximum available throughput from sender to receiver, and, once they converge, attempt to keep sending traffic…

We have presented an optimal buffer sizing and buffer insertion methodology which uses stochastic models of the architecture and Continuous Time Markov Decision Processes CTMDPs. Such a methodology is useful in managing the scarce buffer…

We introduce CTCP, a reliable transport protocol using network coding. CTCP is designed to incorporate TCP features such as congestion control, reliability, and fairness while significantly improving on TCP's performance in lossy,…

Presented in this paper is the solution to the problem that arises when the TCP/IP protocol suite is used to provide Internet connectivity through mobile terminals over emerging 802.11 wireless links. Taking into consideration the strong…

A common theme of data acquisition systems is the transport of data from digitising front-end modules to stable storage and online analysis. A good choice today is to base this on the ubiquitous, commercially and cheaply available Ethernet…

Cellular networks have special characteristics including highly variable channels, fast fluctuating capacities, deep per user buffers, self-inflicted queuing delays, radio uplink/downlink scheduling delays, etc. These distinguishing…

We consider the adaptation of random early detection (RED) as an active queue management algorithm for TCP traffic in Internet gateways where different maximum transfer units (MTUs) are used. We studied the two existing RED variants and…

QUIC, a UDP-based transport protocol, addresses several limitations of TCP by offering built-in encryption, stream multiplexing, and improved loss recovery. To extend these benefits to legacy TCP-based applications, this paper explores the…

Today, considerable Internet traffic is sent from the datacenter and heads for users. The characteristics of connections served by servers in datacenters are usually diverse and varied over time, with continuous upgrades in network…

Parallel Transport Control Protocol (TCP) has been used to effectively utilize bandwidth for data intensive applications over high Bandwidth-Delay Product (BDP) networks. On the other hand, it has been argued that, a single-based TCP…

ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) is the technology chosen for the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). The ATM ABR (available bit rate) service can be used to transport ``best-effort'' traffic. In this paper, we extend…

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…

Practitioners of a growing number of scientific and artificial-intelligence (AI) applications use High-Performance Wide-Area Networks (HP-WANs) for moving massive data sets between remote facilities. Accurate prediction of the flow…
