TCP(α,β) protocols trade the congestion window increase value α for the decrease ratio β , to generate smoother traffic patterns and to maintain a friendly behavior. In this p...
We present a TCP-compatible and -friendly protocol which abolishes three major shortfalls of TCP for reliable multimedia applications over heterogeneous networks: (i) ineffective ...
We discuss the design principles of TCP within the context of heterogeneous wired/wireless networks and mobile networking. We identify three shortcomings in TCP's behavior: (...
While ATM bandwidth-reservation techniques are able to o er the guarantees necessary for the delivery of real-time streams in many applications (e.g. live audio and video), they s...
Most existing criteria [3], [5], [8] for sizing router buffers rely on explicit formulation of the relationship between buffer size and characteristics of Internet traffic. However...
