This article describes how control theory has been used to address the question of how to size the buffers in core Internet routers. Control theory aims to predict whether the net...
Distributed hash table (DHT) networks based on consistent hashing functions have an inherent load balancing problem. The problem becomes more severe due to the heterogeneity of ne...
Receiver-driven TCP protocols delegate key congestion control functions to receivers. Their goal is to exploit information available only at receivers in order to improve latency ...
— The packet losses imposed by IP networks can cause long and erratic recovery delays, since senders must often use conservative loss detection and retransmission mechanisms. Thi...
The state of the art congestion control algorithms for wireless sensor networks respond to coarse-grained feedback regarding available capacity in the network with an additive inc...
