The PhD Student = will work in the area of networking support for time-dependent = applications, focusing on thin streams. Thin streams are generated by = applications that send data with high interarrival time and also often = small packet sizes. These traffic patterns are in stark contrast to = greedy streams where the application always has data to send and the = sending rate is limited by congestion control. Typical for thin streams = is that they are generated by interactive applications with a need for = low latency communication. The following topics are central for the work in this position: =95 Develop mechanisms to improve thin-stream latency when transmitted = via different buffer types with varying drop schemes. =95 Investigate the congestion control support of conditionally thin = streams (i.e. not everything must be sent at all times) via per-packet = priorities. =95 Work towards a formal definition of the concept of thin streams. =95 Work towards defining what TCP fairness must mean in thin-stream = scenarios. The position is connected to the "Traffic behaviour of interactive = time-dependent thin streams on the modern Internet" (TimeIn) research = project cooperating with partners like UNINETT, University of Oslo, = Karlstad University, University of Kaiserslautern, CAIDA San Diego, = Cisco and Funcom. It is planned to align the research with, and possibly contribute to, = ongoing standardization efforts in the RTP Media Congestion Avoidance = Techniques (RMCAT) working group in the IETF.
