Resolving the bandwidth-delay uncertainty through asymptotic pacing
TCP Reno and CUBIC asymptotically converge to an optimal value of the cwnd control parameter by applying the combination of a linear and...

Pacing at the fair-share of the bottleneck bandwidth *without* explicit network-level feedback
Pacing at the optimal rate should not only; 1) maximize utilization without exacerbating congestion (the latter of which occurs when the...

Deploying BBR v2 on geo-distributed cloud servers
Google’s new transport protocol BBR offers significant improvements in the queueing and throughput performance of connections when...

AI derived “just-in-time” capacity – CUBIC vs. BBR
Google has recently developed a new algorithm called BBR (B for Bottleneck, B for Bandwidth, R for Round-Trip-Time) which dramatically...

Performing fast calculations of network demand using multi-core CPUs
Rather than running at faster clock-speeds, modern CPUs increasingly rely on multi-core technology to deliver performance. High...

Analysing the performance of active TCP connections in ultra-fast networks
With the Internet expected to support an estimated 30 billion devices by 2020 (on the so-called Internet-of-Things), the need for...

Ensuring QoS for interactive services over the Internet by coding at rates that compensate for casca
An interesting fact about some of the most pervasive forms of digital telephony is that; instead of transmitting the raw bits derived...

Solving Network Design Problems based on the Subscriber Internet Connection Speed
Typically, the cost of higher data rate links is less (unit cost wise) than the cost of a lower data rate links – for example; the...

The effect of TCP’s packet inter-arrival rate on the overprovisioning factor required for backbone l
The design of core/backbone network links is based on queuing theory; namely, given the ratio of the arrival rate of packets to the link...

A unified analytical approach for calculating access/aggregation bandwidth requirements during netwo
When deploying and operating broadband networks, it is essential to implement an analytical approach that determines if congestion is...
