It’s hard to imagine now, but in the mid-1980s, the Internet came close to collapsing due to the number of users congesting its networks. Computers would request packets as quickly as they could, and ...

Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans. TCP, the transmission control protocol, is one of the ...

Google has started using a new congestion control algorithm for its Cloud Platform, following sucessful implementation on google.com and YouTube. TCP BBR achieves higher bandwidth and lower latencies ...

TCP sometimes gets a bad rap because of the way its congestion-control algorithm hunts for bandwidth haphazardly and backs off conservatively at any sign of congestion. A properly tuned TCP ...

Aiming to make its public cloud offerings faster and more reliable, Google on Thursday announced the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is now using a new congestion control algorithm called Transmission ...
