In this paper, we review the definition of a variant of TCP, called SmoothTCP, and describe one of its versions which uses ICMP-SQ messages as its primary control metric. This version of SmoothTCP is intended to be used in environments subject to spurious errors, such as in wireless networks. We evaluate the behavior of this version of SmoothTCP by comparing it with the behavior of Standard TCP...

Round Trip Time (RTT) estimation is an important variable for efficient fairness bandwidth flows of different RTT. This paper propose a stabilized rate scheme to enhance the RTT fairness on high speed Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) namely BIC-TCP, FAST, H-TCP and LTCP. The rate of window growth is stabilized in high speed protocols from the current window size, such that competing flows a...

This paper studies a simple strategy, proposed independently by Gallager [1] and Katevenis [2], for fairly allocating link capacity in a point-to-point packet network with virtual circuit routing. Each link offers its packet transmission slots to its user sessions by polling them in round-robin order. In addition, window flow control is used to prevent excessive packet queues at the network nod...

A new technique for the continuous recording of peripheral bioelectrical activity in the auditory system of primates is described. Because of basic differences in the anatomy of the temporal bone, the approach to the round window of the cochlea is more difficult in most primates than in lower animals. A relatively simple surgical approach, which made possible the placement of an electrode into ...
