Smart devices equipped with multiple network interfaces are becoming commonplace.
Nevertheless, even though multiple interfaces can be used to connect to the Internet, their …

Data Grids have been adopted as the next generation platform by many scientific
communities that need to share, access, transport, process, and manage large data …

This paper examines the effects of using parallel TCP flows to improve end-to-end network
performance for distributed data intensive applications. A series of transmission experiments …

Due to the availability of a wide variety of wireless access technologies, a mobile host can
potentially have subscriptions and access to more than one wireless network at a given time …

Recent work on Internet measurement and overlay networks has shown that redundant
paths are common between pairs of hosts and that one can often achieve better end-to-end …

The TCP transport layer protocol is designed for connections that traverse a single path
between the sender and receiver. However there are several environments in which multiple …

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) specifications utilize the multiple paths
capabilities between the sender and receiver for retransmission of lost data chunks and as a …

Parallel TCP flows are broadly used in the high performance distributed computing
community to enhance network throughput, particularly for large data transfers. Previous …

In this paper, we propose Layered TCP (LTCP for short), a set of simple modifications to the
congestion window response of TCP to make it more scalable in highspeed networks. LTCP …

Wide area data transfer may be a major bottleneck for the end-to-end performance of
distributed applications. A practical way of increasing the wide area throughput at the …
