In pricing-based congestion control protocols it is common to assume that the rate of congestion feedback from the network is limited to a single bit per packet. To obtain a preci...

Recent work on BitTorrent swarms has demonstrated that a bandwidth bottleneck at the seed can lead to the underutilization of the aggregate swarm capacity. Bandwidth underutilizat...
A snap-stabilizing protocol, starting from any configuration, always behaves according to its specification. In this paper, we present a snap-stabilizing protocol which detects ...
We consrder asynchronous general topology dynamic networks of identical nameless nodes wzth worst-case transient faults. Starting from any faulty configuration, our protocols self...
Rate control protocols that utilise explicit feedback from routers are able to achieve fast convergence to an equilibrium which approximates processor-sharing on a single bottlene...
