Multipath transport protocols utilize multiple network paths (e.g., WiFi and cellular) to achieve improved performance reliability, compared with their single-path counterparts. The scheduler of a multipath protocol determines how distribute the data packets onto different paths. However, state-of-the-art schedulers face challenge when dealing heterogeneous dynamic path characteristics (i.e., packet loss, fluctuation delay). In this paper, we propose Peekaboo, novel learning-based that is...

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) enables the simultaneous use of multiple links for bandwidth aggregation, better resource utilization and improved reliability. Its coupled congestion control intends to reap increased links, while avoiding being more aggressive than regular flows on every used link. We argue that this leads a very conservative behavior when paths do not share bottleneck. Therefore, in paper, we first quantify penalty Then, order overcome penalty, design implement practical shared...

Private and public clouds require users to specify requests for resources such as CPU memory (RAM) be provisioned their applications. The values of these do not necessarily relate the application's run-time requirements, but only help cloud infrastructure resource manager map requested physical resources. If an application exceeds values, it might throttled or even terminated. As a consequence, are often overestimated, resulting in poor utilization infrastructure. Autoscaling is technique...

When these share a common bottleneck, MPTCP tries not be more aggressive flow. This achieved MPTCP's coupled congestion control mechanism that couples increase factor subflows in avoidance. However, slow-start remains unchanged and behaves uncoupled for each subflow, affecting concurrent traffic at bottleneck. We propose LISA, simple algorithm coupling...
