Take advantage of TCP/IP options to optimize data transmission Your email has been sent By Alex Kuznetsov, Alex Plant, and Alexander Tormasov Last time, we explained how the TCP_CORK option can ...

A typical User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) header contains 20 bytes of IP header and eight bytes of UDP header. While UDP headers contain source and destination UDP port addresses, ...

Researchers at Caltech, Harvard and MIT have been working with colleagues in Europe to come up with a method of boosting wireless network performance. What they've created is a network that is 10 ...

Researchers present a system for testing new traffic management protocols that requires no alteration to network hardware but still works at realistic speeds -- 20 times as fast as networks of ...

Most network people understand the terrible effect delay can have on TCP sessions. TCP must pause data transfers while waiting for ACKs. The more network delay there is, the longer this pause will be.

There is a core set of protocols critical to the operation of computer networks. Some of the most important protocols include IP, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) ...

In a short time, network infrastructure bandwidth has scaled exponentially to 10 Gbits/s, with designs for next-generation Ethernet promising between 40 and 100 Gbits/s. At the same time, the ...
