A variety of communication networks, such as industrial communication systems, have to
provide strict delay guarantees to the carried flows. Fast and close to optimal quality of …

Applications requiring real-time communication (RTC) between Internet peers are ever
increasing. RTC requires not only congestion control but also minimization of queuing …

Video cameras are increasingly used to provide real-time feedback in automatic control
systems, such as autonomous driving and robotics systems. For such highly dynamic …

In SDN, the control logic of packet processing devices is moved onto the SDN centralized
controller. This decoupled networking architecture creates some critical concerns when …

A smart meter Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) is a significant component for smart grid.
The delay-sensitive communication in NAN, such as the interaction of power system control …

Recent research has shown that last-mile latency is a key network performance indicator
that contributes heavily to DNS lookup and page load times. Using a month-long dataset …

The WebRTC initiative has achieved impressive results in terms of the gained industrial
interest, the penetration of the technology in end-user devices, and the ever growing …

We explore the opportunities and design options enabled by novel SDN and NFV
technologies, by re-designing a dynamic content delivery network (CDN) service. Our …

A number of recently proposed Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanisms instantiate
shallow buffers with burst tolerance to minimise the time that packets spend enqueued at a …

Applications like inter data-centre synchronisation or client-to-cloud backups require a
reliable end-to-end data transfer, however, they typically do not have strong capacity or …
