Multiple sender distributed video streaming

With the explosive growth of video applications over the Internet, many approaches have been proposed to stream video effectively over packet switched, best-effort networks. We propose a receiver-driven protocol for simultaneous video streaming from ...
TCP with sender-side intelligence to handle dynamic, large, leaky pipes

Transmission control protocol Westwood (TCPW) has been shown to provide significant performance improvement over high-speed heterogeneous networks. The key idea of TCPW is to use eligible rate estimation (ERE) methods to intelligently set the congestion ...
Sizing router buffers

All Internet routers contain buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. Today, the size of the buffers is determined by the dynamics of TCP's congestion control algorithm. In particular, the goal is to make sure that when a link is congested, ...
