In recent years, much of the discussion involving “smart grids” has implicitly involved only
the distribution side, notably advanced metering. However, today's electric systems have …

Applications, deployed over a wide area network (WAN) which may connect across
metropolitan, regional or national boundaries, suffer performance degradation owing to …

Network device vendors have recently opened up the processing capabilities on their
hardware platform to support third-party applications. In this paper, we explore the …

In today's world, transmitting data across large bandwidth-delay product (BDP) networks
requires special configuration on end users' machines in order to be done efficiently. This …

Protocol (RTP) and its companion protocol Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) are
the solution for customers who have progressively come to desire real-time services. The …

Computer networks based on the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
employ TCP congestion control and shortest path routing. However, TCP congestion control …

Today's dominant Internet transport protocol-TCP-is known to achieve a low bandwidth
utilization on large bandwidth-delay product network paths. As such paths become common …

The Internet was designed as a packet-switched network in the 1960's and 1970's, with the
explicit intent of sacrificing quality-of-service guarantees for an individual application in …

Today's dominant Internet transport protocol–TCP–is known to achieve a low bandwidth
utilization on lossy large bandwidth-delay product paths. As such paths become common in …

In this position paper, we consider architectures of distributed interconnected clouds across
geographically distributed, independently-administered storage and computation clusters …
