The last three decades have seen much evolution in web and network protocols: amongst
them, a transition from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/2 and a shift from loss-based to delay-based TCP …

The choice of feedback mechanism between delay and packet loss has long been a point of
contention in TCP congestion control. This has partly been resolved, as it has become …

Delay and rate-based alternatives to TCP congestion-control have been around for nearly
three decades and have seen a recent surge in interest. However, such designs have faced …

Different from IEEE802. 11 (wifi) and traditional 3G wireless networks, LTE networks have
the features of high link variability and end user mobility. There exists a huge gap in …

Concerns over the scalability of TCP's end-to-end approach to congestion control and its
AIMD congestion adaptation have led to proposals for router-based congestion control …

We present initial experimental results for TCP Illinois and Compound TCP. These tests are
for relatively simple scenarios yet they are sufficient to highlight several interesting issues …

TCP flows start with an initial congestion window of at most four segments or approximately
4KB of data. Because most Web transactions are short-lived, the initial congestion window is …

Interactive applications like web browsing are sensitive to latency. Unfortunately, TCP
consumes significant time in its start-up phase and loss recovery. Existing sender-side …

Router-assisted congestion control schemes are con-sidered to be one potential solution to
improve the transport protocol performance in high-speed wide-area networks. The …

This paper studies the startup dynamics of TCP on both high as well as low bandwidthdelay
network paths and proposes a set of enhancements that improve both the latency as well as …
