Making High-Speed Networks Faster
For more than two decades, Internet applications have been relying on the standard transport protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to make best usage of available network resources. However, even the state-of-the-art TCP variants now fail to scale to high enough network speeds to meet the requirements of the computational science communities. To address this problem, Associate Professor Jasleen Kaur and her research team have decided to do away with the traditional TCP framework of operation and create a novel paradigm that can be scaled to even Terabit-and-higher speeds.
