The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented communication protocol in the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. It ensures reliable, ordered, and error-free delivery of data between ...

TCP flow control has several benefits and challenges for network performance and reliability. It prevents buffer overflow and underflow, which can cause packet loss, retransmission, and wasted ...

In ad hoc wireless networks, end-to-end TCP is well-known that it can obtain very low throughput with increase of the number of hops. One promising way to resolve this technical problem of TCP ...

Wireless networks have the feature that the data-rate in a wireless link varies with the signal quality. TCP congestion control cannot handle such data-rate variation in the wireless link and its ...

We show that if each server’s congestion is governed by the arriving traffic at the server then the system can *oscillate*. This is in contrast to previous work on flow control where congestion was ...

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a cornerstone of modern internet communication, providing reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications running on hosts ...

As we have observed frequently in this newsletter, there has been much innovation in the past few years to help you improve the performance of your networked applications over the WAN. Among the ...

A top-down exploration of networking using the 5-layer model and the TCP/IP stack. HTTP, FTP, DNS, BSD Sockets, concurrent servers, checksums, reliable transport with stop-and-wait, go-back-n, ...
