Research ThemeThe Internet has grown tremendously along several dimensions over the past two decades. Yet, the core transport mechanisms used in its operation have not changed much. In particular, after observing network congestion in the late 80s and early 90s, several congestion control mechanisms---instantiated mostly as different versions of the TCP protocol---were developed. These mechanisms are ubiquitously deployed today. Meanwhile, the Internet infrastructure has grown by several orders of magnitude, both in its structure as well as traffic-carrying capacity. It is difficult to blindly believe that the assumptions on which network designs were based a decade ago are valid even today. It is natural to ask:
Unfortunately, we do not know the answers to most of these fundamental questions. It is the goal of our research to answer these by:
