Reducing the TCP Acknowledgment Frequency: Delayed acknowledgments were introduced to conserve network and host resources. Further reduction of the acknowledgment frequency can be motivated in the same way. However, reducing the dependency on frequent acknowledgments in TCP is difficult because acknowledgments support reliable delivery, loss recovery, clock out new segments, and serve as input when...; Tags: Acknowledgement, TCP, Acknowledgment Frequency, Tcp/Ip, Networking; White papers 2007-07-01
TCP-PR: TCP for Persistent Packet Reordering: Most standard implementations of TCP perform poorly when packets are reordered. This paper proposes a new version of TCP that maintains high throughput when reordering occurs and yet, when packet reordering does not occur, is friendly to other versions of TCP. The proposed TCP variant, or TCP-PR, does not rely...; Tags: Packet, Acknowledgement, TCP, Tcp/Ip, Networking; White papers 2006-03-27
Next Generation TCP: Accumulated Acknowledgements on Advanced TCP Implementations: Deployment of Active Networks severely increases per-packet cost of routers, shifting their performance limitation from bytes/sec to packets/sec. This issue is addressed by presenting a method to decrease packets transmitted for next generation, queuing delay based TCP implementations by accumulating acknowledgements when a stable network state is detected. Simulation results...; Tags: Acknowledgement, Environment, TCP, Tcp/Ip, Networking; White papers 2006-03-25
Here's what I think about Von Coalition's request for 90-day E911 acknowl. reprieve: The Von Coalition, a group of Internet phone service providers, has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to give VoIP companies an additional 90 days to seek acknowledgements from all subscribers that they acknowledge the current limitations of E911 over VoIP.Starting Tuesday of next week, VoIP providers are supposed to interrupt...; Tags: acknowledgement, VoIP, E911, VON Coalition; Blog posts 2005-08-26

Energy and Spatial Reuse Efficient Network Wide Real-Time Data Broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: This paper presents NB-TRACE, which is an energy-efficient network-wide voice broadcasting architecture for mobile ad hoc networks. In the NB-TRACE architecture, the network is organized into overlapping clusters through a distributed algorithm, where the clusterheads create a non-connected dominating set. Channel access is regulated through a distributed TDMA scheme maintained...; Tags: Mobile, Network, Acknowledgement, Broadcasting, Networking; White papers 2005-08-23

You haven't acknowledged VoIP E911 limitations? Get ready for pester-overdrive: If you are a VoIP subscriber, you better hope your VoIP provider keeps efficient enough records to separate those customers who have acknowledged the limitations of VoIP E911 from those who have not.Should your VoIP provider not have that data wall in place, get ready for a barrage of emails,voice...; Tags: VoIP company, VoIP; Blog posts 2005-07-27
VoIP providers to customers: tell us you understand E911 is limited for now: The FCC is requiring VoIP service providers to obtain acknowledgement from customers that they understand the current limitations of their provider's E911 service.The requirement is to be fulfilled by July 29. That's a week from tomorrow, you know?According to an article in telephony news site Voxilla, some service providers are...; Tags: Vonage Holdings Corp., VoIP company, VoIP; Blog posts 2005-07-21
Implicit MAC Acknowledgment: An Optimization to 802.11: In the recent years, IEEE 802.11 has become the de facto standard for medium access control in wireless LANs and ad hoc networks. One problem with 802.11 is the high investment of bandwidth to control packets like RTS, CTS, and ACK. With the increasing trend in available data rates, this...; Tags: IEEE 802.11, MAC, Optimization, Acknowledgement, Wireless LANs, Wi-Fi, Wireless; White papers
