Short flows unfairness

Short lived flows in the Internet suffer from unfairness from long lived flows. For them, a lost is dramatic. Many solutions try to improve this issue according to a end to end approach. But there may be another solution at the level of queue management. Our proposition is known as FavourQueue.

Appropriate TCP congestion response

It is known TCP outperforms in the LFN environment (Long Fat Network). Several solutions tackle this issue. We aims to define a solution according to the delay as a congestion metric in addition to the drop.

Starting a TCP flow

When a new flow starts in the Internet. It is fragile. In other term, a lost degrades significatively the performances. Ideally, the firsts segments must be received with a high probability. We studies solutions to decrease the drop ratio in the end host.
