AntiECN Marking: A Marking Scheme for High Bandwidth Delay Connections

Tags:
switching

Overview This paper describes a simple scheme that uses feedback from underutilized high capacity links to allow a TCP connection to aggressively increase its sending rate. The feedback is in the form of a single bit in the packet header and is given per packet. The scheme uses aggregate information to provide feedback and does not require the routers to maintain per flow state. The paper shows through simulations that such a scheme allow TCP connections to efficiently utilize high capacity links without increasing the implementation complexity at the routers.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Hype and Skype

When you make a traditional telephone call a direct and dedicated connection links two telephones for the transmission of those bits throughout the call. The most basic and fundamental is constraint is restricting the number of hops between routers...

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the Chinese intrusion detection systems (IDS) by ignoring the forged TCP resets injected by the Chinese routers, which would normally force the endpoints to abandon the connection.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

The telcos et al see an opportunity to regulate the whole net and control the packet flow so they can extract more revenues by creating tiers of usage for individuals and websites by volume and speed.

3.5G laptops to overwhelm mobile networks?

Berg predicts laptops with HSPA/LTE (high speed packet access/long term evolution) mobile broadband connectivity will grow from 8.4 million in 2007 to 49 million in 2013 - a compound annual growth rate of just over a third.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
