TCP Vegas: End to End Congestion Avoidance on a Global Internet

by Lawrence S. Brakmo, Larry L. Peterson , 2006
"... Vegas is an implementation of TCP that achieves between 37 and 71 % better throughput on the Internet, with one-fifth to one-half the losses, as compared to the implementation of TCP in the Reno distribution of BSD Unix. This paper motivates and describes the three key techniques employed by Vegas, ..."

IDMaps: A Global Internet Host Distance Estimation Service

by P. Francis, S. Jamin, C. Jin, Y. Jin, V. Paxson, D. Raz, Y. Shavitt, L. Zhang - IN PROCEEDINGS OF IEEE INFOCOM , 2000
"... There is an increasing need to quickly and efficiently learn network distances, in terms of metrics such as latency or bandwidth, between Internet hosts. For example, Internet content providers often place data and server mirrors throughout the Internet to improve access latency for clients, and it ..."

, and it is necessary to direct clients to the closest mirrors based on some distance metric in order to realize the benefit of mirrors. We suggest a scalable Internet-wide architecture, called IDMaps, which measures and disseminates distance information on the global Internet. Higher-level services can collect

Predicting Internet Network Distance with Coordinates-Based Approaches

by T. S. Eugene Ng, Hui Zhang - In INFOCOM , 2001
"... In this paper, we propose to use coordinates-based mechanisms in a peer-to-peer architecture to predict Internet network distance (i.e. round-trip propagation and transmission delay) . We study two mechanisms. The first is a previously proposed scheme, called the triangulated heuristic, which is bas ..."

is based on relative coordinates that are simply the distances from a host to some special network nodes. We propose the second mechanism, called Global Network Positioning (GNP), which is based on absolute coordinates computed from modeling the Internet as a geometric space. Since end hosts maintain

Support Mobility in the Global Internet

by Lixia Zhang, Ryuji Wakikawa, Zhenkai Zhu
"... Today’s technology trend indicates that billions of handheld gadgets as well as other types of mobile devices will be coming online in the next few years. While the existing Internet mobility standards, namely Mobile IP, is waiting for a wide adoption, cellphone networks are providing the ubiquitous ..."

the ubiquitous mobility services on a global scale as of today. They have also promoted IP core network architecture and adopted Proxy Mobile IPv6, an extension to Mobile IP, for their mobility service. There is an open question regarding whether the Internet would, or would not, require significant

Mobility Architecture for the Global Internet

by Phil Roberts, James Kempf - Proc. ACM/IEEE Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch , 2006
"... A variety of approaches have been made in various kinds of access networks to create workable IP mobility solutions for mobile devices. Although most of these approaches are host-based, there is a perceived need for network-based IP mobility solutions. In this paper we focus on two basic approaches ..."

Globalizing Internet Websites. The

by Tomasz Müldner, Zhinan Shen, Key Words - Ninth IASTED International Conference on INTERNET & MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS & APPLICATIONS IMSA , 2005
"... The global nature and accessibility of the Internet has generated interest in internationalization, i.e. making websites available in various languages and cultures. While the interest in internationalization is growing, up to date, not much research has been done on various aspects of this topic. I ..."
