The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) carries most Internet traffic, so performance of the
Internet depends to a great extent on how well TCP works. Performance characteristics of a …

Science and engineering applications are now generating data at an unprecedented rate.
From large facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider to portable DNA sequencing …

CUBIC is a congestion control protocol for TCP (transmission control protocol) and the
current default TCP algorithm in Linux. The protocol modifies the linear window growth …

Today's networks are suffering from unnecessary latency and poor system performance. The
culprit is bufferbloat, the existence of excessively large and frequently full buffers inside the …

While today's data centers are multiplexed across many non-cooperating applications, they
lack effective means to share their network. Relying on TCP's congestion control, as we …

In this paper, we summarize our work on the UDT high performance data transport protocol
over the past four years. UDT was designed to effectively utilize the rapidly emerging high …
