Latency is increasingly becoming a performance bottleneck for Internet Protocol (IP)
networks, but historically, networks have been designed with aims of maximizing throughput …

For many Internet services, reducing latency improves the user experience and increases
revenue for the service provider. While in principle latencies could nearly match the speed of …

Low latency is critical for interactive networked applications. But while we know how to scale
systems to increase capacity, reducing latency---especially the tail of the latency distribution …

We analyse two complementary datasets to quantify the latency variation experienced by
internet end-users:(i) a large-scale active measurement dataset (from the Measurement Lab …

This paper introduces Copa, an end-to-end congestion control algorithm that uses three
ideas. First, it shows that a target rate equal to 1=(δd q), where dq is the (measured) …

The Internet today carries different types of traffic that have different service requirements. A
large fraction of the traffic is either Web traffic requiring low response time or peer-to-peer …

To support latency sensitive traffic such as voice, network providers can either use service
differentiation to prioritize such traffic or provision their network with enough bandwidth so …

This paper considers the potentially negative impacts of an increasing deployment of non-
congestion-controlled best-effort traffic on the Internet. These negative impacts range from …

Conventional wisdom has been that the performance limitations in the current Internet lie at
the edges of the network--ie last mile connectivity to users, or access links of stub ASes. As …

Dynamics of Internet load are investigated using statistics of round-trip delays, packet losses
and out-of-order sequence of acknowledgments. Several segments of the Internet are …
