Abstract

A primary design decision in HTTP/2, the successor of HTTP/1.1, is object multiplexing. While multiplexing improves web performance in many scenarios, it still has several drawbacks due to complex cross-layer interactions. In this paper, we propose a novel multiplexing architecture called TM³ that overcomes many of these limitations. TM³ strategically leverages multiple concurrent multiplexing pipes in a transparent manner, and eliminates various types of head-of-line blocking that can severely impact user experience. TM³ works beyond HTTP over TCP and applies to a wide range of application and transport protocols. Extensive evaluations on LTE and wired networks show that TM³ substantially improves performance e.g., reduces web page load time by an average of 24% compared to SPDY, which is the basis for HTTP/2. For lossy links and concurrent transfers, the improvements are more pronounced: compared to SPDY, TM³ achieves up to 42% of average PLT reduction under losses and up to 90% if concurrent transfers exist.

TCP CERL: congestion control enhancement over wireless networks

In this paper, we propose and verify a modified version of TCP Reno that we call TCP Congestion Control Enhancement for Random Loss (CERL). We compare the performance of TCP CERL, using simulations conducted in ns-2, to the following other TCP variants: ...
Evaluating TCP-friendliness in light of Concurrent Multipath Transfer

In prior work, a CMT protocol using SCTP multihoming (termed SCTP-based CMT) was proposed and investigated for improving application throughput. SCTP-based CMT was studied in (bottleneck-independent) wired networking scenarios with ns-2 simulations. ...
