Recently, the interest in broadband satellite multimedia (BSM) systems has grown rapidly.
Advancements in transmission technology have led to the availability of low-cost satellite …

We discuss the design principles of TCP within the context of heterogeneous wired/wireless
networks and mobile networking. We identify three shortcomings in TCP's behavior:(i) the …

Medium earth orbit satellites deliver fiber-like low latency to underserved locations. This
paper describes the architecture of an efficient cost effective low latency medium earth orbit …

With the emerging market for high-mobility remote access broadband services, satellite
networks are becoming increasingly popular. Although the ubiquitous TCP/IP protocol is …

This paper proposes and evaluates soft timers, a new operating system facility that allows
the efficient scheduling of software events at agranularity down to tens of microseconds. Soft …

In this paper we compare the energy consumption behavior of three versions of TCP---Reno,
Newreno, and SACK. The experiments were performed on a wireless testbed where we …

TCP's slow start algorithm gradually increases the amount of data a sender injects into the
network, which prevents the sender from overwhelming the network with an inappropriately …
