A large number of streaming applications use reliable transport protocols such as TCP to deliver content over the Internet. However, head-of-line blocking due to packet loss recovery can often result in unwanted behavior and poor…
Network administrators want to detect TCP-level packet reordering to diagnose performance problems and attacks. However, reordering is expensive to measure, because each packet must be processed relative to the TCP sequence number of its…
Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) has emerged as a powerful tool for robust high-throughput multicast. Projection analysis - a recently introduced technique - shows that the distributed packetized RLNC protocol achieves (order) optimal…
Existing network stacks tackle performance and scalability aspects by relying on multiple receive queues. However, at software level, each queue is processed by a single thread, which prevents simultaneous work on the same queue and limits…
Data randomization or scrambling has been effectively used in various applications to improve the data security. In this paper, we use the idea of data randomization to proactively randomize the spectrum (re)allocation to improve…
The TCP congestion control protocol serves as the cornerstone of reliable internet communication. However, as new applications require more specific guarantees regarding data rate and delay, network management must adapt. Thus, service…
In multi-user wireless packet networks interference, typically modeled as packet collision, is the throughput bottleneck. Users become aware of the interference pattern via feedback and use this information for contention resolution and for…
Multi-core processors improve performance, but they can create unpredictability owing to shared resources such as caches interfering. Cache partitioning is used to alleviate the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) estimation by isolating the…
Given a set of messages to be transmitted in packages from a set of sending stations to a set of receiving stations, we are required to schedule the packages so as to achieve the minimum possible time from the moment the 1st transmission…
Intel Ethernet Flow Director is an advanced network interface card (NIC) technology. It provides the benefits of parallel receive processing in multiprocessing environments and can automatically steer incoming network data to the same core…
Future networks are expected to support various ultra-reliable low-latency communications via wireless links. To avoid the loss of packets and keep the low latency, sliding network coding (SNC) is an emerging technology by generating…
Achieving consistent time across devices in distributed systems often involves exchanging timestamped messages over a network. Precise time synchronization is crucial for applications such as cellular networks, industrial automation, and…
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 Multi-Radio Multi-Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), Partially Overlapped Channels (POC) has been used to increase the parallel transmission. But adjacent channel interference is very severe in MRMC environment; it decreases…
A novel paradigm for sorting is introduced, based upon resetting. Using simple examples, we demonstrate that sorting is achieved by resetting the velocity component(s) or orientation of the particles, rather than position. The objects to be…
Datacenter congestion control protocols are challenged to navigate the throughput-buffering trade-off while relative packet buffer capacity is trending lower year-over-year. In this context, receiver-driven protocols -- which schedule…
Quite a few algorithms have been proposed to optimize the transmission performance of Multipath TCP (MPTCP). However, existing MPTCP protocols are still far from satisfactory in lossy and ever-changing networks because of their loss-based…
We propose a mechanism that incorporates network coding into TCP with only minor changes to the protocol stack, thereby allowing incremental deployment. In our scheme, the source transmits random linear combinations of packets currently in…
Enhancing the efficiency of iterative computation on graphs has garnered considerable attention in both industry and academia. Nonetheless, the majority of efforts focus on expediting iterative computation by minimizing the running time per…
With the slowdown of Moore's law, CPU-oriented packet processing in software will be significantly outpaced by emerging line speeds of network interface cards (NICs). Single-core packet-processing throughput has saturated. We consider the…
