Applications, deployed over a wide area network (WAN) which may connect across
metropolitan, regional or national boundaries, suffer performance degradation owing to …

Virtual machines can greatly simplify wide-area distributed computing by lowering the level
of abstraction to the benefit of both resource providers and users. Networking, however, can …

The split of a multihop, point to point TCP connection consists in replacing a plain, end-to-
end TCP connection by a cascade of TCP connections. In such a cascade, connection n …

The reliability of data transfer is vital for commercial and enterprise applications of Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSN). Likewise, mission-oriented and critical military applications of …

Transparent transmission control protocol (TCP) acceleration is a technique to increase TCP
throughput without requiring any changes in end-system TCP implementations. By …

TCP is widely deployed and is used by the current implementation of GridFTP for data
transfers within grid environments. Due to TCP dynamics, throughput of data transfers can …

We consider an overlay network where traffic on an overlay hop is carried in one or more
TCP connections established between the overlay nodes at the ends of the hop. We are …

Transparent TCP acceleration is an approach to increasing TCP throughput without
requiring any changes in end-system TCP implementations. Network processing technology …

In the last decade we have seen tremendous increases in computer and network speeds
and performance, resulting in the emergence of wide-area distributed computing. However …

TCP is widely deployed and is used by GridFTP for data transfers within grid environments.
Due to TCP dynamics, throughput of data transfers can be much lower than the available …
