Fixing the unfairness of TCP congestion control

Bob Briscoe Chief researcher at the BT Network Research Centre is on a mission to tackle one of the biggest problems facing the Internet.  He wants the world to know that TCP Transmission Control Protocol congestion control is fundamentally broken and he has a proposal for the IETF to fix...

Layer Four Traceroute 3.1 (Mac)

LFT Layer Four Traceroute is a sort of "traceroute" that often works much faster than the commonly-used Van Jacobson method and goes through many configurations of packet-filter based firewalls. More importantly, LFT implements numerous other features, including TCP, UDP, and ICMP trace methods, AS number lookups through several reliable sources,...

The Effect of Reverse Traffic on the Performance of New TCP Congestion Control Algorithms

Several new TCP congestion control algorithms have been proposed to speed up the TCP over very fast networks. All these algorithms propose their own modifications of the increasing/decreasing phases of classic Reno/NewReno TCP. On the other hand, all of them preserve the self-clocking mechanism, which is a fundamental part of...

Rocks, Light, and SunOS 3.1

Last Wednesday I had one of those headaches that result in too much aspirin and an overwhelming need to sit the four year old in front of the automated babysitter pretty much no matter what's on. In this case an episode of Dora the Explora; followed, in his case...

LFT 2.5 (Mac)

LFT, short for Layer Four Traceroute, is a sort of 'traceroute' that often works much faster (than the commonly-used Van Jacobson method) and goes through many configurations of packet-filter based firewalls. More importantly, LFT implements numerous other features including AS number lookups, loose source routing, netblock name lookups, et al.What...
