TCP is an important communication protocol as more and more multimedia technologies are deployed in the Internet nowadays. However, existing TCP control mechanism has some shortcomings in supporting real-time streaming traffic. Although UDP can be used as an alternative to transmit real-time application data, it lacks congestion control. Introducing a new TCP-friendly protocol that supports the multimedia...
Version control plays an important role in software industries to manage changes and code development. It is also recognized as embedded parts in various software types such as Content Management Systems, Wikis and Word processors. The emergence of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud computing stimulate the provision of online services via the Internet. Traditional version control systems still...
Random Early Detection (RED) is recommended as the congestion avoidance mechanism in packet switched networks in RFC2309 and has become the focus of much research into congestion control. Furthermore, RED and WRED are the AQM schemes most widely deployed in commercial Internet routers, such as Cisco and Juniper routers. This paper describes an analytical approach that models RED and WRED schemes using...
The management of recreational fishing is a controversial subject in most jurisdictions. On the one hand, recreational fishing provides substantial economic benefits. Fishing activities, on the other hand, can threaten valuable fish stocks and cause damage to marine environments. However, most management strategies undertaken so far tend to be ad hoc and not supported by proper modeling. To address...
Fano decoding algorithms are packet error detection and correction mechanisms that are mainly used to ensure a reliable end-to-end delivery over noisy channels. The popularity of using Fano decoding gets high in many network environments because of its lower storage requirements and having a decoding complexity that is a channel dependent. In this paper, we propose a new queuing study over the systems...
Propagation of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) worms in the Internet is posing a serious challenge to network security because of P2P worms' increasing complexity and sophistication, significant damages their propagation can cause, and recent popularity of P2P networks with increasing number of users. No existing work has solved the problem of propagation modeling of P2P worms due to its complexity. This paper...
Accurately locating the geographical position of Internet hosts has many useful applications. Existing approaches for host geolocation use Internet latency measurements, IP-to-location mapping and also geographical and demographical hints. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) technique for Internet host geolocation. Our approach is based on a probability...
In the offshore engineering community, reliable deep-water anchor performance is critical for mooring floating platforms such as Mobile Offshore Drilling Units. In a typical installation, an anchor is fully embedded into the seabed (up to 100 m). This has to be done with high fidelity as anchor failure can cause floating units to go adrift, damaging oil and gas pipelines. The likelihood of this happening...
