Resilient Overlay Networks

by David Andersen, Hari Balakrishnan, Frans Kaashoek, Robert Morris , 2001
"... A Resilient Overlay Network (RON) is an architecture that allows distributed Internet applications to detect and recover from path outages and periods of degraded performance within several seconds, improving over today’s wide-area routing protocols that take at least several minutes to recover. A R ..."

Explicit Allocation of Best-Effort Packet Delivery Service

by David D. Clark, et al. , 1998
"... This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled and predictable ..."

and predictable way during network congestion. The framework supports two complementary ways of controlling the bandwidth allocation: sender-based and receiver-based. In today’s heterogeneous and commercial Internet the framework can serve as a basis for charging for usage and for more efficiently utilizing

A Scalable, Commodity Data Center Network Architecture

by Mohammad Al-Fares, Alexander Loukissas, Amin Vahdat , 2008
"... Today’s data centers may contain tens of thousands of computers with significant aggregate bandwidth requirements. The network architecture typically consists of a tree of routing and switching elements with progressively more specialized and expensive equipment moving up the network hierarchy. Unfo ..."

RAP: An End-to-end Rate-based Congestion Control Mechanism for Realtime Streams in the Internet

by Reza Rejaie, Mark Handley, Deborah Estrin
"... End-to-end congestion control mechanisms have been critical to the robustness and stability of the Internet. Most of today’s Internet traffic is TCP, and we expect this to remain so in the future. Thus, having “TCP-friendly” behavior is crucial for new applications. However, the emergence of non-co ..."

Modeling TCP latency

by Neal Cardwell, Stefan Savage, Thomas Anderson - in IEEE INFOCOM , 2000
"... Abstract—Several analytic models describe the steady-state throughput of bulk transfer TCP flows as a function of round trip time and packet loss rate. These models describe flows based on the assumption that they are long enough to sustain many packet losses. However, most TCP transfers across toda ..."

Autograph: Toward automated, distributed worm signature detection

by Hyang-ah Kim - In Proceedings of the 13th Usenix Security Symposium , 2004
"... Today’s Internet intrusion detection systems (IDSes) monitor edge networks ’ DMZs to identify and/or filter malicious flows. While an IDS helps protect the hosts on its local edge network from compromise and denial of service, it cannot alone effectively intervene to halt and reverse the spreading o ..."

Sizing Router Buffers

by Guido Appenzeller, Isaac Keslassy, Nick McKeown , 2004
"... 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, it is busy 100 % of the time; which is equivalen ..."

The chaotic nature of TCP congestion control

by Veres , 2000
"... Abstract- In this paper we demonstrate how TCP congestion control can show chaotic behavior. We demonstrate the major features of chaotic systems in TCPlIP networks with examples. These features include un-predictability, extreme sensitivity to initial conditions and odd periodicity. Previous work h ..."

that this argument is not necessary to explain self-similarity, neither randomness is required. Rather, TCP itself as a deter-ministic process creates chaos, which generates self-similarity. This prop-erty is inherent in todays TCPlIP networks and it is independent of higher layer applications or protocols. The two

On Inferring TCP Behavior

by Jitendra Padhye, Sally FLoyd - In Proceedings of ACM SIGCOMM , 2001

Hence, the performance of TCP has a significant impact on the performance of the overall Internet. TCP is a complex protocol with many user-configurable parameters and a range of different implemen ..."
