Scheduling has been an interesting problem since its inception. In the context of real-time networks, a scheduling algorithm is concerned with dispatching streams of packets sharing the same bandwidth such that certain ...

Active queue management disciplines such as RED and its extensions have been widely studied as mechanisms for providing congestion avoidance, differentiated services and fairness between different traffic classes. With the ...

We propose k-SACK, a TCP variant that has considerably improved throughput characteristics over lossy links. A k-SACK source does not consider every packet loss as an indication of congestion. It uses the selective ...
