We study several variants of coordinated consensus in dynamic networks. We assume a synchronous model, where the communication graph for each round is chosen by a worst-case adver...
— We demonstrate that the dynamic behavior of queue and average window is determined predominantly by the stability of TCP/RED, not by AIMD probing nor noise traffic. We develop...

Distributed systems require strategies to detect and recover from failures. Many protocols for distributed systems employ a strategy based on leases, which grant a leaseholder acc...
— We present a crosslayer framework for optimizing the performance of wireless networks as measured by applications or upper layer protocols. The approach combines adaptive modul...

The well-accepted wisdom is that TCP's exponential backoff mechanism, introduced by Jacobson 20 years ago, is essential for preserving the stability of the Internet. In this ...
