Abstract. Timeouts play a fundamental role in network protocols, controlling numerous aspects of host behavior at different layers of the protocol stack. Previous work has documen...
— A considerable body of evidence indicates that the use of reliable link layer protocols over error prone wireless links dramatically improves the performance of Internet protoc...
The notion of timeout (namely, the maximal time to wait before retrying an action) turns up in many networking contexts, such as packet transmission, connection establishment, etc....
Timeout mechanisms are a useful feature for web applications. However, these mechanisms need to be used with care because, if used as-is, they are vulnerable to timing attacks. Th...
In three-tiered web applications, some form of admission control is required to ensure that throughput and response times are not significantly harmed during periods of heavy load....
