Blanton and Allman (2002) On Making TCP More Robust to Packet Reordering (CCR)

October 14, 2009 paper

Packet reordering is a negative effect to TCP performance because: [more]

Kandula et al (2007) Dynamic Load Balancing without Packet Reordering (CCR)

October 13, 2009 paper

Packets out of order came from rerouting a flow from a slow path to a fast path. And the amount of packets out of order is proportional to the delay differential. [more]

Komattireddy and Vokkarane (2007) Source-Ordering for Improved TCP Performance over Load-Balanced Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) Networks (BROADNETS)

October 13, 2009 paper

In OBS network, all-optical switching is done. It is possible to have multipath in the network but when a TCP flow switched from a path to another, packet out of order may occur and that make TCP (Reno) mistook as loss. The solution proposed in this paper is that, because... [more]

Santos et al (2003) End-to-End Congestion Control for InifiBand (INFOCOM)

October 12, 2009 paper

Because InfiniBand switch are input-buffered, there would be the case that a victim flow choked when some other flow caused a congestion. An example would be, switch A has a flow to switch B port 1 which this port is oversubscribed, and hence congested. Switch A has another flow to... [more]
