TCP - IP White Papers

Equilibrium and Fairness of Networks Shared by TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST

Overview It has been proved theoretically that a network with heterogeneous congestion control algorithms that react to different congestion signals can have multiple equilibrium points. This paper demonstrates this experimentally using TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST. It also shows that any desired inter-protocol fairness is in principle achievable by an appropriate choice of Vegas/FAST parameter, and that intra-protocol fairness among flows within each protocol is unaffected by the presence of the other protocol except for a reduction in effective link capacities. Dummynet experiments and ns-2 simulations are presented to verify these results.

London trials £2.2m Congestion Charge smart card scheme

Instead it wants to place more discreet 'beacons' at various roadside points that will monitor the tags in vehicles using dedicated short range communication technology and verify the class of vehicle for charging purposes.

Pay-as-you-drive road tax: Best of Reader Comments

There will also be a very interesting market for 'spoof' boxes, which send radio frequency signals pretending to be satellites, telling the onboard system that you are travelling down a dirt track road in Wales charged at 1p per mile when you are...

RFID-tagged driverless cars on roads by 2056

The UK's transport infrastructure will be radically changed over the next 50 years by RFID tracking tags, embedded sensors and an artificial intelligence network that will reduce congestion and pollution, according to scientists from the...

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

Cars travelling at speed need to be able to pick up other signals in adverse weather and driving conditions, and must also be fail-safe. The impact of congestion and accidents is staggering when accumulated.

Mobiles working on their sensor-tive side

There are congestion points in the short and medium term. Just using a simple camera phone, for example, a subscriber could let the world know their exact location using GPS or cellular signals and how the weather is looking where they are with an...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Wi-fi really is everywhere

To cover off the latest series of challenges and objections I thought I'd extend and expand my experiments in the UK and make them more substantive. Logging onto free wi-fi signals and using them is illegal, isn't it?

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
