- Ireland, labor migration and globalization
- It was great to see Ireland again, something I did as part of a trip to London (for those looking for cheap trips to Europe, try flying to Shannon, Ireland then using one of the many discount airlines that fly into that airport, like EasyJet, RyanAir or CentralWings). ...

- TCP Testing - Preventing Global Internet Warming
- Do the new TCP congestion control algorithms and other changes have unfairness that could lead to congestion collapse? Testing multiple flows using applications rsync and ftp shows some unfairness exists when the bottleneck queue is large; but the new algorithms are no more unfair than standard TCP. The Transmission Control...

- Experimental Evaluation of Cubic-TCP
- This paper presents an initial experimental evaluation of the recently proposed Cubic-TCP algorithm. Results are presented using a suite of benchmark tests that have been recently proposed in the literature, and a number of issues are of practical concern highlighted. While some of these issues may be considered minor (including...

- Experimental Evaluation of TCP Protocols for High-Speed Networks
- In this paper we present experimental results evaluating the performance of the Scalable-TCP, HS-TCP, BIC-TCP, FAST-TCP and H-TCP proposals in a series of benchmark tests. In summary, we find that both Scalable-TCP and FAST-TCP consistently exhibit substantial unfairness, even when competing flows share identical network path characteristics. Scalable-TCP, HS-TCP, FAST-TCP...

- Impact of Drop Synchronisation on TCP Fairness in High Bandwidth-Delay Product Networks
- This paper considers the performance of several well known high speed protocols in environments where individual flows experience different probabilities of seeing a drop in drop-tail buffers. The initial results suggest the properties of networks in which these protocols are deployed can be sensitive to changes in these probabilities. These...
