Abstract
In this poster we describe initial findings regarding Internet usage characteristics, in particular TCP flows from a field study with 27 iPhone 3GS users. We present details regarding their usage characteristics, and provide a solution for migrating flows between different networks and/or network interfaces without requiring infrastructure support or changes to current applications and protocols, with minimal impact to the user.

Seamless TCP Migration on Smartphones without Network Support
Is it possible to migrate TCP/IP flows between different networks on modern mobile devices without infrastructure support or protocol changes? To answer this question, we make three research contributions: 1) We report a comprehensive characterization ...
Network support for TCP version migration
APNOMS'06: Proceedings of the 9th Asia-Pacific international conference on Network Operations and Management: management of Convergence Networks and ServicesRecently, new versions of the TCP protocols such as HSTCP (High Speed TCP) has proposed to adopt the rapid growth of the Internet. However, it is important to consider a deployment scenario to shift gradually from the current to the new versions of TCP. ...
TCP CERL: congestion control enhancement over wireless networks
In this paper, we propose and verify a modified version of TCP Reno that we call TCP Congestion Control Enhancement for Random Loss (CERL). We compare the performance of TCP CERL, using simulations conducted in ns-2, to the following other TCP variants: ...
