In this survey, we present state-of-the-art bitrate adaptation algorithms for HTTP adaptive
streaming (HAS). As a key distinction from other streaming approaches, the bitrate …

Client-side video players employ adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithms to optimize user quality
of experience (QoE). Despite the abundance of recently proposed schemes, state-of-the-art …

Network operators and researchers constantly search for platforms to evaluate future
deployments and test new research ideas. When experimenting, they usually face …

We describe the results of a randomized controlled trial of video-streaming algorithms for
bitrate selection and network prediction. Over the last year, we have streamed 38.6 years of …

TCP's congestion control architecture suffers from notoriously bad performance.
Consequently, recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in both academia and …

This paper introduces Copa, an end-to-end congestion control algorithm that uses three
ideas. First, it shows that a target rate equal to 1=(δd q), where dq is the (measured) …

The success of blockchains has sparked interest in large-scale deployments of Byzantine
fault tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols over wide area networks. A central feature of such …

Many networking tasks now employ deep learning (DL) to solve complex prediction and
optimization problems. However, current design philosophy of DL-based algorithms entails …

Internet transport algorithms are foundational to the performance of network applications.
But a number of practical challenges make it difficult to evaluate new ideas and algorithms in …

We report XLINK, a multi-path QUIC video transport solution with experiments in Taobao
short videos. XLINK is designed to meet two operational challenges at the same time:(1) …
