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 ...

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 ...

In December, we wrote about researcher Bob Briscoe's problems with TCP's fairness in handling different protocols. Specifically, unattended peer-to-peer bulk data transfer applications (e.g., ...

It’s hard to imagine now, but in the mid-1980s, the Internet came close to collapsing due to the number of users congesting its networks. Computers would request packets as quickly as they could, and ...

Google has started using a new congestion control algorithm for its Cloud Platform, following sucessful implementation on google.com and YouTube. TCP BBR achieves higher bandwidth and lower latencies ...

When it comes to internet speed, small, often obscure things can make a big difference. Take the congestion control algorithm. A piece of code standardized in the 1980s, the algorithm slows data ...

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 ...

How to enable TCP BBR to improve network speed on Linux Your email has been sent Jack Wallen shows you how to use Google's much improved TCP Congestion Control Algorithm on Linux for significant ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass- TCP, the transmission control protocol, is one of the core protocols governing the Internet: If counted as a computer program, it's the most widely used program in the world. One of ...
