— One of TCP’s critical tasks is to determine which packets are lost in the network, as a basis for control actions (flow control and packet retransmission). Modern TCP implem...
— The border gateway protocol (BGP) is known to take a long time to converge to a steady state following the failure of BGP routers or inter-router links. This has resulted in ex...
TCP Slow Start exponentially increases the congestion window size to detect the proper congestion window for a network path. This often results in significant packet loss, while ...
Abstract— Service level agreements (SLAs) specify performance guarantees made by service providers, typically in terms of packet loss, delay, delay variation, and network availab...
