Internet content providers often deliver content through bandwidth bottlenecks that are out of
their control. Thus, despite often having massively over-provisioned upstream servers, the …

Consumer broadband services are increasingly a mix of TCP-based and UDP-based
applications, often with quite distinct requirements for interactivity and network performance …

Congestion control is an indispensable component of transport protocols to prevent
congestion collapse. As such, it distributes the available bandwidth among all competing …

The growth of video traffic makes it increasingly likely that multiple clients share a bottleneck
link, giving video content providers an opportunity to optimize the experience of multiple …

Video streaming is an increasingly popular way to consume media content. Adaptive video
streaming is an emerging delivery technology which aims to increase user QoE and …

Congestion control (CC) is an indispensable component of transport protocols to prevent
congestion collapse as it distributes the available bandwidth among all competing flows …

The ability of TCP's congestion control scheme to adapt the rate of traffic flows and fairly use
all the available resources is one of the Internet's pillars. So far, however, the elasticity of …

Short TCP flows may suffer significant response-time performance degradations during
network congestion. Unfortunately, this creates an incentive for misbehavior by clients of …

We observe that even when the system throughput is relatively stable, end users of media-
streaming applications do not necessarily experience smooth throughput, due to the …

Internet is experiencing a substantial growth of video traffic. Given the limited network
bandwidth resources, how to provide Internet users with good video playback quality-of …
