The innovative techniques of TCP Vegas have been the subject of much debate in recent
years. Several studies have reported that TCP Vegas provides better performance than TCP …

Network-aware applications attempt to adjust their resource demands in response to
changes in resource availability, eg, if a server maintains a connection to a client, the server …

Network-aware content delivery is an attractive approach to mitigate the problems produced
by the significant fluctuations of the available bandwidth present in today's Internet. Such …

Today's best-effort Internet infrastructure is well-known for its heterogeneity (both in end-
system capabilities and connectivity) and the significant fluctuations in service quality that …

This paper presents a new robust TCP congestion‐recovery scheme to (1) handle bursty
packet losses while preserving the self‐clocking capability;(2) detect a TCP connection's …

This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the performance of real-time
streaming in the best-effort Internet and studies several novel congestion control and …

This dissertation focuses on studying and improving congestion control of Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP). The study comes from two approaches: analytical modeling …

This thesis focuses on improving Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) congestion
control performance in wireless ad hoc networks. As our experiments show, schemes …

We assess the state of Internet congestion control and error recovery through a controlled
study that considers the integration of standards-track TCP error recovery and both TCP and …

The use of streaming media has been steadily increasing with the improvement in the
capacity of" last-mile" links to the Internet. With this increase in media streaming, it is …
