Having covered switches & data centers, this friday (24th) and monday (27th will look at Mesh Wireless networks - then next wednesday (29th) we wrap up with systems & course overview.
This week sees us complete the control theory section of the course, and cover the optimisation model of end-to-end congestion control + traffic engineering/routing as a joint optimal solution...on friday 10th nov.
Will contrast the optimization model of TCP with a very large scale practical measurement based study of real world traces of TCP, on monday 13th....
This week, we looked at errors (coding for TCP)
flow control (open loop, token bucket etc, forward reference to schedulers)
closed loop (TCP equation, explicit v. implicit feedback), and will just start on
control theory....
