Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans. TCP, the transmission control protocol, is one of the ...

Bob Briscoe (Chief researcher at the BT Network Research Centre) is on a mission to tackle one of the biggest problems facing the Internet. He wants the world to know that TCP (Transmission Control ...

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. We all know ants are extremely smart creatures that are capable of solving complex problems but as it ...

On an 80-core computer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, scientists have built a tool that might make networks significantly faster just by coming up with better algorithms. The system, ...

Without the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the web would cease to function properly. Acting much like a crossing guard, the TCP regulates internet traffic to ensure that online congestion is ...

Streamlining data transmission from the client to the server is an ongoing challenge, and some aspects of high-performance network transmission can be confusing. This article explores various methods ...

Spurious retransmission timeouts cause suboptimal TCP performance because they often result in unnecessary retransmission of the last window of data. This document describes the F-RTO detection ...

Google has developed an algorithm that speeds up TCP/IP, the internet’s primary data transmission protocol, by up to 14% Engineers at Google have developed a new algorithm to speed up TCP, the main ...

Transmission Control Protocol carries the vast majority of the data transmitted across both the public Internet and private intranets. Web sessions using HTTP, file transfers, file sharing and system ...
