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 ...

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 ...

Active queue management (AQM) and congestion control form the backbone of modern network performance optimisation. By dynamically regulating queue lengths in routers, these techniques pre-empt ...

Telecoms.com periodically invites third parties to share their views on the industry’s most pressing issues. In this piece Raffaele D’Albenzio, Solution Architect at F5 Networks, looks at ways CSPs ...

Ethernet first emerged in the 1970s, and the IEEE standardized it in 1985. Over the years, the technology has undergone numerous updates. In today’s data centers, the newest trend is network ...

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 ...
