Requirement on multi-point data distribution in IP networks assumes some distribution service, be it implemented as a part of network native services (IP multicast) or user-empowered solution (data reflectors). In our previous work, we have introduced user-empowered distribution networks based on Active Elements (AE) [1], which scale well in terms of number of clients connected. It is however n...

Enhanced Compressed RTP (CRTP) for Links with High Delay, Packet Loss and Reordering Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protoc...

We present an implementation of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) under the NS-3 open source network simulator. MPTCP is a promising extension of TCP currently considered by the recent eponymous IETF working group, with the objective of improving the performance of TCP, especially its robustness to variable network conditions. We describe this new protocol, its main functions and our implementation in NS3....

Abstract Modern data center networks typically adopt multi-rooted tree topologies such leaf-spine and fat-tree to provide high bisection bandwidth. Load balancing is critical achieve low latency throughput. Although the per-packet schemes as Random Packet Spraying (RPS) can network utilization near-optimal tail in symmetric topologies, they are prone cause significant packet reordering degrade ...

Packet reordering has now become one of the most significant bottlenecks in next-generation switch designs. In this paper, we argue that current packet order requirements for switches are too stringent, with little or no reason. Instead of requiring all packets sharing the same switch input and switch output to be ordered, we only require packets that share the same source and destination IP ad...

One major problem of concurrent multi-path transfer (CMT) scheme in multi-homed mobile networks is that the utilization of different paths with diverse delays may cause packet reordering among packets of the same flow. In the case of TCP-like, the reordering exacerbates the problem by bringing more timeouts and unnecessary retransmissions, which eventually degrades the throughput of connections...

The main concern of wireless network is communication. Basically communication is influenced by traffic overloading. Communication congestion is one of the major issues of networks. Congestion degrades the performance of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP regulates the amount of data traffic injected by nodes into communication networks, preventing persistent network overload. In the netw...

It is well known that congestion control is a key issue for the safe deployment of multimedia applications over IP. We describe our initial experiences implementing TCP-friendly congestion control in a system designed to deliver HDTV content over IP. In particular we discuss the effects of packet reordering on the calculated throughput, and highlight the problems this can pose for high-rate app...
