COMP 991 Independent Research Ideas

• Analytical studies
• Study impact of application, transport,
  network-layers on router queues
• Study co-existence of different
  congestion-control protocols
• Prototype implementation and experimentation
• Using FPGAs to support high-speed transport
  protocols
• Measurements and experiments
• Relation of available-bandwidth to delay, loss
  rate in high-speed networks
• Performance-debugging tools
• Real-time performance feedback to Internet
  connections

Open to other ideas in Networks and/or
Distributed Systems
