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 ultra-fast speeds within the network has never been greater. This need can be explained by Little’s Theorem in queuing theory which necessitates that the latency of an application (i.e., the total time required to transfer an entire data object, as distinct from the latency of a single data packet), should be kept at a minimum when reducing the tot
