To meet the timing requirements of interactive applications, the no-frills congestion-agnostic transport protocols like UDP are increasingly deployed side-by-side in the same network with congestion-responsive TCP. In cloud platforms, even…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has emerged as a facilitator for harnessing and pooling available bandwidth in wireless/wireline communication networks and in data centers. Existing implementations of MPTCP such as, Linked Increase Algorithm (LIA),…
Congestion is said to occur in the network when the resource demands exceed the capacity and packets are lost due to too much queuing in the network. During congestion, the network throughput may drop to zero and the path delay may become…
