In the last decade, the demand for Internet applications has been increased, which increases the number of data centers across the world. These data centers are usually connected to each other using long-distance and high-speed networks. As…

Existing performance comparisons of QUIC and TCP compared an optimized QUIC to an unoptimized TCP stack. By neglecting available TCP improvements inherently included in QUIC, comparisons do not shed light on the performance of current web…

Google's BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip Propagation Time) approach is used to enhance internet network transmission. It is particularly intended to efficiently handle enormous amounts of data. Traditional TCP (Transmission Control…

Due to massive available spectrum in the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands, cellular systems in these frequencies may provides orders of magnitude greater capacity than networks in conventional lower frequency bands. However, due to high…

Segment retransmissions are an essential tool in assuring reliable end-to-end communication in the Internet. Their crucial role in TCP design and operation has been studied extensively, in particular with respect to identifying…

The congestion control algorithms in TCP may incur inferior performance in a lossy network context like wireless networks. Previous works have shown that random linear network coding can improve the throughput of TCP in such networks,…

Atomic Crosschain Transaction technology allows composable programming across permissioned Ethereum blockchains. It allows for inter-contract and inter-blockchain function calls that are both synchronous and atomic: if one part fails, the…

Backpressure-based adaptive routing algorithms where each packet is routed along a possibly different path have been extensively studied in the literature. However, such algorithms typically result in poor delay performance and involve high…

Modern datacenter switches share packet buffers across ports to boost overall throughput and reduce packet loss. However, as buffer availability per-port-per-bandwidth unit continues to decrease, existing buffer-sharing strategies face…

In modern systems, DRAM-based main memory is significantly slower than the processor. Consequently, processors spend a long time waiting to access data from main memory, making the long main memory access latency one of the most critical…

We study TCP flows coexistence between Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) and other TCP applications, by taking World of Warcraft (WoW) and a file transfer application based on File Transfer Protocol (FTP) as an…

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 latencies have become increasingly important for the performance of web servers and cloud computing platforms. Identifying network-related tail latencies and reasoning about their potential causes is especially important to gauge…

In shared access shaping subscriber traffic based on token bucket by ISPs wastes network resources when there are few active subscribers, because it cannot allocate excess bandwidth in the long term. To address it, traffic control schemes…

A new backward compatible WiFi amendment is under development by the IEEE bd Task Group towards the so-called IEEE 802.11bd, which includes the possibility to transmit up to three repetitions of the same packet. This feature increases time…

The paper begins with a discussion of current trends in networking and a historical reviews of past networking technologies some of which failed. This leads us to the discussion about what it takes for a new technology to succeed and what…

Transport layer congestion control relies on feedback signals that travel from the congested link to the receiver and back to the sender. This forward congestion control loop, first, requires at least one rount-trip time (RTT) to react to…

TCP and its variants have suffered from surprisingly poor performance for decades. We argue the TCP family has little hope to achieve consistent high performance due to a fundamental architectural deficiency: hardwiring packet-level events…

In this work we study the overheads of virtual-to-physical address translation in processor architectures, like x86-64, that implement paged virtual memory using a radix tree which are walked in hardware. Translation Lookaside Buffers are…

Active Queue Management(AQM) is an efficient tool in the network to avoid saturation of the queue by warning the sender that the queue is almost full to reduce its speed before the queue is full. The buffer management schemes focus on space…
