G-TCP represents novel transport protocol designed to be used by Next Generation Networks. It engages famous Fibonacci sequence to calculate congestion window size when the protocol operates in congestion avoidance phase. Modification of window decrease parameter is introduced in order to improve protocol behaviour in high and low speed networks.
Distributed applications deployed in multi-datacenter environments need to deal with network connections of varying quality, including high bandwidth and low latency within a datacenter and, more recently, high bandwidth and high latency between datacentres. In principle, for a given network connection, each message should be sent over the best available network protocol, but existing middlewares...
Nearly 50% of the energy overhead in today's datacenters comes from host-to-host data transfers, which largely depend on the transport layer performance. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has recently been suggested as a promising transport protocol to improve datacenter network throughput, yet it also increases the host CPU power consumption. It remains unclear whether datacenters can indeed benefit from using...
We present a new and efficient application level transport protocol UDA (UDP-based Delayed ACK) specially designed for device-to-device (D2D) networks operating over WiFi. Although WiFi speeds have increased manifold over the past few years, TCP performance over WiFi has not seen a commensurate improvement due to various overheads. One major overhead is caused by the cross-layer interaction of TCP...
In the past few years, the telecommunications field experienced a rapid evolution on two main grounds: Multiple mobile network interface terminals, and mobile radio technologies. The needs of the users in terms of flow and mobility are in constant increase, making it necessary to develop a new generation of networks. The latter would be a heterogeneous wireless environment in which different access...
Since the early days of Quality of Experience (QoE) research, relationships to Quality of Service (QoS) and corresponding QoE-QoS models have been of great interest to the research community. However, the manifold quality transformations throughout the communication stack, together with accessibility issues of QoS parameters inside networks, hamper availability, applicability and generality of such...
Many applications of sensor networks collect massive data in a coordinated approach, such as monitoring volcanoes, oceans and forests. We propose, therefore, two protocols at the network stack to enable multiple frequency communication. MultiFCTP extends the state-of-the-art CTP to route packets using multiples frequencies. FlushMF is a transport protocol that extends Flush by supporting multiple...
The previous surveys show that more than 90% of the flows in typical data center networks are smaller than 100KB in size, while most bytes transmitted are from a few large flows. The small flows are usually sensitive to their completion times while the large flows require a high throughput. The previous works usually either achieve low completion times for small flows or high throughput for large...
TCP and UDP are two important protocols in the network transport layer. In this paper, we study the effects of TCP and UDP on the performance of the application. Based on OPNET simulation software, a simple FTP application simulation model was created and the experiment was carried out. In order to test the influences of different transport protocols on the performance of application in different...
For IoT applications that require near real-time wireless connections, the traditional TCP protocol is not adept enough due to the size of its packet header, its conservative Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithm and its slow start strategy. This paper mainly evaluates three kinds of reliable UDP-based transport protocols namely, RUBDP, UDT, and PA-UDP, for...
Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a recent innovative architecture, has brought about a great number of challenges for researchers whose ambition is to design such network with highly advanced ability to respond quickly to increasing demands from users. This receiver-driven content paradigm creates a different perspective of network. In this paper, we propose a coupled multipath congestion control...
Many data center applications have deadline requirements, which pose a requirement of deadline-awareness in network transport. Completing within deadlines is a necessary requirement for flows to be completed. Transport protocols in current data centers try to share the network resources fairly and are deadline-agnostic. Recently several works try to address the problem by making as many flows meet...
We present a new method for finding attacks in unmodified transport protocol implementations using the specification of the protocol state machine to reduce the search space of possible attacks. Such reduction is obtained by appling malicious actions to all packets of the same type observed in the same state instead of applying them to individual packets. Our method requires knowledge of the packet...
Today's cloud datacenters host wide variety of applications which generate diverse mix of internal datacenter traffic. In a cloud datacenter environment 90% of the traffic flows, though they constitute only 10% of the data carried around, are short flows with sizes up to a maximum of 1MB. The rest 10% constitute long flows with sizes in the range of 1MB to 1GB. Throughput matters for long flows whereas...
This paper describes a new reliable transport protocol designed to run on top of a multicast network service for delivery of continuously generated files. The motivation for this work is to support scientific computing Grid applications that require file transfers between geographically distributed data enters. For example, atmospheric research scientists at various universities subscribe to real-time...
Data center networks widely uses TCP for communication between the servers as it provides reliability and congestion control. However, TCP does not work well for certain type of communication patterns. One such a pattern is barrier synchronized many to one communication. During this type of data transmissions, multiple servers simultaneously transmits data to a single client and also the client cannot...
The transfer of big data is increasingly supported by dedicated channels in high-performance networks. Transport protocols play a critical role in maximizing the link utilization of such high-speed connections. We propose a Transport Profile Generator (TPG) to characterize and enhance the end-to-end throughput performance of transport protocols. TPG automates the tuning of various transport-related...
Mobile adhoc networks are being used for both commercial and non-commercial applications. Since adhoc networks are deployed on the fly without any infrastructure and because majority of the applications are critical, proper functioning of the protocols is essential. The transfer of multimedia is one of the essential requirements of the adhoc network. TCP, and UDP are the transport protocols that are...
The dependence of the industry on cloud-based infrastructures has grown much faster than our understanding of the performance limits and dynamics of these environments. An aspect only marginally analyzed in the past is related to the performance of the intra-cloud network connecting the virtual machines (VMs) deployed in the same data center. The few available works either do not exhaustively describe...
Over current long fat networks, enough throughput cannot be obtained using TCP Reno, which is the classical standard TCP congestion avoidance algorithm. For this reason, many high performance TCPs have been proposed, such as Compound TCP and CUBIC TCP. Then, these proposals have caused a new issue, which is fairness among these modern TCPs. For this issue, several fairness evaluations and some proposals...
