RSS tcpTCP/IP Vulnerabilities
White Paper TCP/IP is a set of protocols developed to allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network. The TCP/IP protocol suite, which is very widely used today, has a large number of serious security flaws inherent in the protocols... [05 Dec 2007]
TCP Anomalies: Identification and Analysis
White Paper This paper focuses on passive measurements of TCP traffic, main component of traffic. Since TCP is a closed-loop protocol that infers network conditions and reacts accordingly by means of losses, the possibility of carefully distinguishing the... [26 Dec 2007]
TCP Offload Is a Dumb Idea Whose Time Has Come
Network interface implementors have repeatedly attempted to offload TCP processing from the host CPU. TCP offload per se is neither of much overall benefit nor free from significant costs and risks. But TCP offload in the service of very specific... [06 Dec 2007]
TCP Performance
White Paper Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most widely used transport layer protocol in the Internet. Most popular Internet applications, such as the Web and file transfer, use the reliable services provided by TCP. [03 Jul 2008]
TCP Wrappers Misconceptions
White Paper Both reading through the articles and discussion forums on security, and in discussing security with friends, I have encountered some misconceptions surrounding hosts.deny/hosts.allow and TCP Wrappers. [03 Jul 2008]
TCP Westwood Simulation Studies in Multiple-Path Cases
White Paper Best-effort traffic has been the dominant traffic type in the Internet, and TCP has been playing the major role for carrying such traffic. However, it causes TCP segments to be distributed over delay-different multiple paths and to be delivered out... [05 Dec 2007]
TCP-Friendly Streaming With Decoder Buffer Control
White Paper So the paper proposes an advanced streaming mechanism which maintains playable time of the video in the decoder buffer at a target point while maximally utilizing given TCP-friendly rate. Recently, the emergent growth of real-time multimedia... [20 Dec 2007]
TCP-Friendly Flow Control of Wireless Multimedia Using ECN Marking
White Paper This paper extends so-called TCP-friendly flow control scheme, which was originally developed for the flow control of multimedia flows in a wired IP network environment, to a wireless environment. In a wireless network packet losses can be caused... [14 Jan 2008]
TCP Over Multihop 802.11 Networks: Issues and Performance Enhancement
White Paper Analyzing TCP operation over 802.11 multihop ad hoc networks involves a cross-layer study. This paper investigates the effect of congestion and MAC contention on the interaction between TCP and on-demand ad hoc routing protocol in the 802.11 ad hoc... [06 Oct 2005]
TCP Throughput and Timeout - Steady State and Time-Varying Dynamics
White Paper While many models of the TCP's dynamics have been developed, few focus on the effects of timeout and high loss probability. It is at these utilizations that the dynamic models of TCP are the least accurate. [05 Dec 2007]
TCP Rate Implicit Control (TRIC)
White Paper Current congestion control mechanisms in today's Internet rely on end-to-end TCP congestion avoidance algorithms that back off sources when congestion occurs, detected by packet loss or explicit congestion notification signals. [05 Dec 2007]
TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) Performance on HP rp4440 Servers: Using PCI-X 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Cards
TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), also known as "large send" enables a system's protocol stack to offload portions of outbound TCP processing to a network interface card thereby reducing system CPU utilization and enhancing performance. [16 Nov 2004]
TCP-Friendly Medium Access Control for Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks: Alleviating Self-Contention
White Paper The paper observes that self-contention plays an important role in degrading TCP performance in multi-hop wireless networks and that the use of the popular IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol exacerbates self-contention. [23 Aug 2007]
TCP Compression Filter
This article says that propose a TCP filter option to install compression in a virtual layer between TCP and the application layer. The method is incrementally deployable, as neither party will install the compression layer without the other's... [23 Dec 2003]
TCP With Link Level ARQ
White Paper Unfortunately, TCP performance degrades over wireless links where packet error rates are high due to varying wireless channel conditions. TCP interprets a packet loss as a sign of congestion and reduces transmission rate even in the presence of... [14 Jan 2008]
