Researchers at Caltech, Harvard and MIT have been working with colleagues in Europe to come up with a method of boosting wireless network performance. What they've created is a network that is 10 ...

When more and more video joins the network, and it is prioritized above data traffic, the data will begin to suffer from more congestion loss. That affects all productivity apps, and thus productivity ...

Before continuing on to cover which of the various technologies – those that are part of the Next-generation Enterprise WAN (NEW) architecture as well as others – addresses packet loss and how, I ...

Last time, we began our discussion of what can be done to address the impact of packet loss on application performance over the WAN. We listed six different possibilities, and went through how one of ...

Interface packet loss provides indications of link problems that shouldn’t go ignored. But then you have to decide on an alerting threshold that indicates a problem without creating too many false ...

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport layer protocol, proposed by IETF in RFC 4960. In this paper, the authors have done a simulation-based comparison of important Quality of ...

When you transmit information, the data is divided into smaller packets, which are then combined at the receiving end. The failure of these packets to reach their destination is known as Packet Loss.
