In this paper, we introduce a new proxy that effectively prevents unnecessary retransmissions of Transmission Control Protocol data segments from flowing over a wireless link on a...
— This paper examines burst contention resolution problems in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Since burst contentions take place i) when the network is congested by incre...
— In this paper, we present an analytical TCP model that takes into account of several issues that were ignored in the other existing models (such as those in [15], [19]), i.e., ...
Since TCP can only detect congestion after packet losses have already happened, various forms of Fast TCP (FTCP) have been proposed to notify congestion early and avoid packet los...
In window flow controlled networks, if a packet is lost the destination has to decide whether to save (cache) subsequent out-of-order packets. Also, the source has to decide whethe...
