Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans. TCP, the transmission control protocol, is one of the ...

Bob Briscoe (Chief researcher at the BT Network Research Centre) is on a mission to tackle one of the biggest problems facing the Internet. He wants the world to know that TCP (Transmission Control ...

In December, we wrote about researcher Bob Briscoe's problems with TCP's fairness in handling different protocols. Specifically, unattended peer-to-peer bulk data transfer applications (e.g., ...

Google's BBR algorithm for handling TCP traffic congestion has gained huge ground this week after Google announced integration with Google Cloud, a cloud hosting platform offered by Google to ...

Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 44, No. 3 (Sep., 2007), pp. 618-635 (18 pages) The transmission control protocol (TCP) is a transport protocol used in the Internet. In Ott (2005), a more general ...

When it comes to internet speed, small, often obscure things can make a big difference. Take the congestion control algorithm. A piece of code standardized in the 1980s, the algorithm slows data ...

Google has started using a new congestion control algorithm for its Cloud Platform, following sucessful implementation on google.com and YouTube. TCP BBR achieves higher bandwidth and lower latencies ...

Advances in congestion control and performance optimisation are critical to ensuring robust and efficient data transmission across an ever-expanding range of network environments. Contemporary ...

On Thursday the 14th of November 2019, M.Sc. Ilpo Järvinen will defend his doctoral thesis on Congestion Control and Active Queue Management During Flow Startup. The thesis is a part of research done ...

In action movies, when the hero has only minutes before the readout on the bomb counts down to zero, with many miles to drive through a congested city in order to get there in time, he'll just ignore ...
