The Effect of Network and Infrastructural Variables on SPDY's Performance

HTTP is a successful Internet technology on top of which a lot of the web resides. However, limitations with its current specification, i.e. HTTP/1.1, have encouraged some to look for the next generation of HTTP. In SPDY, Google has come up with such a proposal that has growing community acceptance, especially after being adopted by the IETF HTTPbis-WG as the basis for HTTP/2.0. SPDY has the potential to greatly improve web experience with little deployment overhead. However, we still lack an understanding of its true potential in different environments. This paper seeks to resolve these issues, offering a comprehensive evaluation of SPDY's performance using extensive experiments. We identify the impact of network characteristics and website infrastructure on SPDY's potential page loading benefits, finding that these factors are decisive for SPDY and its optimal deployment strategy. Through this, we feed into the wider debate regarding HTTP/2.0, exploring the key aspects that impact the performance of this future protocol

Влияние кристаллической структуры вещества на потери энергии быстрыми протонами в монокристаллах галогенидов щелочных металлов

В работе рассмотрен вопрос о каналировании протонов в ионных кристаллах, обладающих простой кубической структурой. Рассмотрены случаи прохождения протонов в направлении [100] и между плоскостями (100) монокристаллов. Рассчитаны потенциалы для атомных плоскостей и атомных рядов кристаллов и определены предельные углы каналирования для соединений галогенидов натрия и калия. Исследованы энергетические спектры протонов, прошедших монокристаллические мишени различных соединений, и найдена корреляция между формой энергетического спектра и соотношением радиусов ионов в соединении, между долей каналирования частиц и порядковым номером галоида в рядах

Using DCCP: Issues and improvements

is no longer too young to be usable: the first RFCs were published in 2006, and a stable and quite complete Linux implementation exists. DCCP over UDP has also recently been specified to address network traversal problems. But how good is the service provided to applications by this protocol? This paper identifies some deficiencies of the current implementation—the lack of transparency in the API with regard to packet loss, the coarse granularity of the lookup table used to calculate the TFRC equation, and the lack of history discounting in CCID-3—and demonstrates that they can significantly impair the performance of typical DCCP use cases such as live video streaming. Solutions are proposed to tackle all these problems, and it is shown that they considerably improve the performance and the flexibility of applications. I

Future Internet Congestion Control:The Diminishing Feedback Problem

It is increasingly difficult for Internet congestion control mechanisms to obtain the feedback that they need. This lack of feedback can have severe performance implications, and it is bound to become worse. In the long run, the problem may only be fixable by fundamentally changing the way congestion control is done in the Internet. We substantiate this claim by looking at the evolution of the Internet's infrastructure over the past thirty years, and by examining the most common behavior of Internet traffic. Considering the goals that congestion control mechanisms are intended to address, and taking into account contextual developments in the Internet ecosystem, we arrive at conclusions and recommendations about possible future congestion control design directions. In particular, we argue that congestion control mechanisms should move away from their strict "end-to-end" adherence. This change would benefit from avoiding a "one size fits all circumstances" approach, and moving towards a more selective set of mechanisms that will result in a better performing Internet. We will also discuss how this future vision differs from today's use of Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs).Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Magazine, 2022 (Open Call Article
