How Many Parallel TCP Sessions to Open: A Pricing Perspective

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview TCP is one of the main transmission protocols used in the Internet. It has also been recently observed that opening parallel TCP sessions might be of interest for a user in order to increase his overall average throughput. This paper suggests to charge users per TCP session, and it investigates the resulting game in a homogeneous context: how many sessions should each user open? Given the discrete (and even finite) space of strategies, we propose to implement a probabilistic adaptation algorithm, analyze its theoretical properties and provide numerical illustrations.

Microsoft to flash developers with Vista code

In addition, company executives are hosting several sessions at which they plan to lift the lid on the inner workings of Microsoft's Office 12 suite and encourage developers to build applications on top of Office.

Radioactive: Is mobile IM bad for business?

Studies show that on average, an IM user will participate in sessions lasting 20 minutes and generate 100 messages. Even if mobile-to-mobile, or mobile-to-PC, IM sessions are shorter and generate less traffic than PC-to-PC instant messaging...

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.
