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 ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered that congestion control algorithms designed to ensure multiple users sending data over a network do so fairly are actually unable to avoid situations where some users are ...

Advances in congestion control and performance optimisation are critical to ensuring robust and efficient data transmission across an ever-expanding range of network environments. Contemporary ...

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 ...

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 ...

In action movies, when the hero has only minutes before the readout on the bomb counts down to zero, with many miles to drive through a congested city in order to get there in time, he'll just ignore ...

Managing traffic in rapidly growing cities remains one of the biggest challenges for urban planners worldwide. Traffic signal lights and other network control systems are crucial for preventing urban ...
