Packet losses significantly degrade TCP performance in high-latency environments. This is
because TCP needs at least one round-trip time (RTT) to recover lost packets. The recovery …

Today there is a growing demand for Internet services over WLAN hotspots. Majority of the
Internet services today are based on TCP. However, TCP is not well-suited for …

Spurious TCP retransmission timeouts (RTOs) have been reported to be a problem on
network paths involving links that are prone to sudden delays due to various reasons …

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 …

Knowledge of the queue length for a radio link in a mobile data network has a significant
effect on the performance of the communication protocol TCP. If the queue length can be …

Can we instead of designing yet another new TCP algorithm, design a TCP plug-in that can
enable machines to automatically boost the performance of the existing/future TCP designs …

This paper compares TCP loss recovery mechanisms that were proposed by the IETF to
overcome TCP Reno lack of ability to recover efficiently from multiple losses in a single …

Based on the assumption of transmission control protocol (TCP) that packetsare lost due to
congestion, TCP's congestion control algorithms suchas fast retransmit/recovery (FRR) and …

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) enables concurrent data transmissions over multiple wireless links
aiming to achieve bandwidth aggregation and resilience enhancement. MPTCP is …

Today's Internet user experience greatly depends on some user-perceived network metrics,
such as throughput and latency. To improve these metrics, many Internet content providers …
