Managing Network Function (NF) service chains requires careful system resource
management. We propose NFVnice, a user space NF scheduling and service chain …

In this paper we seek to characterize the behavior of the Internet in the absence of
congestion control. More specifically, we assume all sources transmit at their maximum rate …

Congestion control is fundamental to network design. Today's networks enjoy traffic stability,
performance, and fairness in large part due to the use of TCP and TCP-like congestion …

Resource sharing is of utmost importance in networking environments where substantial
overprovisioning is economically infeasible. Different centralized solutions have recently …

In this paper, we propose a dynamic optimization approach to end-to-end flow control in
data networks. The objective is to maximize the aggregate utilities of the data sources over …

A cost driven traffic assignment model is proposed to maximise the global benefit of
transportation network users. A decentralised primal-dual time synchronised approach is …

In this paper, an optimization approach to flow control in data networks is proposed. The
model objective is to maximize the aggregate utilities of the data sources over soft bounds …

The stability of the Internet is at risk if the amount of voice and video traffic continues to
increase at the current pace. While current transport layer protocols do work well for most …

There are a number of techniques to adapt TCP/IP to ATM network environments because of
high speed communication by ATM and the reliability of TCP/IP. Serious performance …

Traditionally, capacity on the Internet has been allocated between competing flows through
a distributed fairness calculation implemented by end-to-end congestion control protocols …
