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 ...

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 ...

TCP friendliness of advanced TCP in high speed network simulated by ns-2: Presentation slides, demo slides, and final report (PDF files). With usage of high speed network in the world, current TCP ...

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., ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass- TCP, the transmission control protocol, is one of the core protocols governing the Internet: If counted as a computer program, it's the most widely used program in the world. One of ...
