Congestion and Corruption Loss Detection With Enhanced-TCP

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview In the Internet area, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most commonly used transport protocol. This paper presents how TCP is tuned to differentiate between corruption and congestion losses. The paper also discusses why regular TCP is not suitable for mobile hosts and its inability to detect the type of losses that yield significant degradation of TCP performance. It introduces an Enhancement to TCP that will be referred to as E-TCP that makes TCP aware of the existence of wireless losses, a new acknowledgment packet format and an agent to assist E-TCP in implementation.

Call centre crisis: waits up, staff morale and budgets down

That leaves a European agent with around £15,000 on average - but that's against the average African agent's pay packet, which comes in at around just £6,000. But will the rise of the machines mean more call centre job losses?

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.
