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 ...

It’s hard to imagine now, but in the mid-1980s, the Internet came close to collapsing due to the number of users congesting its networks. Computers would request packets as quickly as they could, and ...

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 ...

Aiming to make its public cloud offerings faster and more reliable, Google on Thursday announced the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is now using a new congestion control algorithm called Transmission ...

TCP friendliness of advanced TCP in high speed network simulated by ns-2: Presentation slides, demo slides, and final report (PDF files). With usage of high speed network in the world, current TCP ...

Google has developed an algorithm that speeds up TCP/IP, the internet’s primary data transmission protocol, by up to 14% Engineers at Google have developed a new algorithm to speed up TCP, the main ...

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 ...
