In some examples, an apparatus may be usable in a first network and configurable to
operate within a proximity of a second network that communicates traffic that interferes with …

Short TCP flows may suffer significant response-time performance degradations during
network congestion. Unfortunately, this creates an incentive for misbehavior by clients of …

In this dissertation, we propose a framework to provide multimedia communication services.
Our proposed framework is based on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and has four …

Abstract Modern Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communication systems provide a bundle of services

We have studied the effect of head of the line blocking (HOLB) on session initiation protocol
(SIP) session establishment delays. Our results are based on experiments performed in a …

With the development of cloud computing and virtualization, a physical router can be
multiplexed as a large number of virtual routers. TCP‐based interactive applications have an …

Recent measurement based studies reveal that most of the Internet connections are short in
