- IBM: give us one great idea
- IBM is partnering with some other folks to find the best new idea for improving the world's rail transit. The congestion problem is only getting worse as urban populations grow: In 1950 there were 8 global mega-cities those with populations of five million or more. In 2001, that...

- Bolster Network Security With VPN Load Balancing and Redundancy
- Today's Wide Area Networks WANs are experiencing increased saturation with the deployment of bandwidth-intensive applications, increased numbers of users, and the need for reliable security transmissions. IT personnel responsible for these issues acknowledge the increased congestion and have strived to maintain high levels of network performance. At the same time,...

- Simplifying Virtualization Through Adaptive Networking Technology
- As IT organizations increasingly deploy virtual servers and storage to consolidate resources and improve utilization, they must be able to dynamically provision applications on virtual servers and move them non-disruptively as workloads change. However, this increased mobility of application workloads can sometimes create unpredictable congestion in the networks connecting server-to-storage...

- An Adaptive End-to-End Loss Differentiation Scheme for TCP Over Wired/Wireless Networks
- This paper proposes a robust end-to-end loss differentiation scheme to identify the packet losses due to congestion for TCP connections over wired/wireless networks. The paper uses the measured RTT values in determining whether the cause of packet loss is due to congestion over wired path or regular bit errors over...

- Modeling Scalable TCP Friendliness to NewReno TCP
- Scalable TCP is a simple change to the traditional TCP congestion control algorithm which dramatically improves TCP performance in high speed wide area networks. The focus of this contribution is to model the performance of Scalable TCP algorithm sharing bottleneck link with a NewReno TCP. The analysis is performed during...

- "De-Randomizing" Congestion Losses to Improve TCP Performance Over Wired-Wireless Networks
- Currently, a TCP sender considers all losses as congestion signals and reacts to them by throttling its sending rate. With Internet becoming more heterogeneous with more and more wireless error-prone links, a TCP connection may unduly throttle its sending rate and experience poor performance over paths experiencing random losses unrelated...

- A New TCP Congestion Control With Empty Queues and Scalable Stability
- This paper describes a new congestion avoidance system designed to maintain dynamic stability on networks of arbitrary delay, capacity, and topology. This is motivated by recent work showing the limited stability margins of TCP Reno/RED as delay or network capacity scale up. Based on earlier work establishing mathematical requirements for...

- Using Steady-State TCP Behavior for Proactive Queue Management
- This paper describes and evaluates the use of steady-state TCP behavior knowledge for Proactive Queue Management PQM. It shows how routers can use flow parameters and the knowledge of TCP end-host behavior to intelligently mark packets to prevent queue build-up, and thus prevent congestion from ever occurring, while at the...

- Analysis of TCP-AQM Interaction Via Periodic Optimization and Linear Programming: The Case of Sigmoidal Utility Function
- This paper investigates the interaction between Transmission Control Protocol TCP and an Active Queue Management AQM router, that are designed to control congestion in the Internet. TCP controls the sending rate with which the data is injected into the network and AQM generates control signals based on the congestion level....

- Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) for TCP/IP
- When routers become congested to the point in which their incoming packet buffers fill and they begin dropping packets, the effect on the network is reduced bandwidth, an impact on loss or time-sensitive traffic flows, and possibly link idle time after the congestion occurs. Explicit Congestion Notification ECN for TCP/IP...

- Congestion-Distortion Optimized Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming
- In live peer-to-peer streaming, a video stream is transmitted to a large population of viewers, through the use of the uplink bandwidth of participating peers. This approach overcomes the cost of large-scale deployment of such services. An essential problem of this type of system is to limit the incurred congestion....
