- Ad Hoc Wireless Networks With Noisy Links
- Models of ad-hoc wireless networks are often based on the geometric disc abstraction: transmission is assumed to be isotropic, and reliable communication channels are assumed to exist apart from interference between nodes closer than a given distance. In reality communication channels are unreliable and communication range is generally not rotationally...

- TCP MaxNet - Implementation and Experiments on the WAN in Lab
- This paper describes implementation and performance of TCP MaxNet, a new protocol which uses a multi-bit explicit signaling approach to congestion control. The MaxNet sender algorithm operates by adjusting its congestion window in response to explicit feedback from the most congested link encountered in the network. This scheme has numerous...
