Welcome to the FlexNGIA Project!

News
  • Check our last paper by Y. Korbi et al., “Congestion Control in Wi-Fi Networks—State of the Art, Performance Evaluation, and Key Research Directions,” published in IEEE Access, 2024. [PDF, BibTex]. The paper examines and evaluates five major congestion control schemes (Reno, BBRv1, BBRv2, CUBIC, Vegas) in wireless networks. It highlights the impact of wireless characteristics on performance and offers insights for selecting suitable schemes based on the performance requirements of future applications!
  • How to use Transport Assistants (TAs) to reduce packet delivery delays by up to 30% ? please check this paper by Jaime Galán-Jiménez et al., “Transport Assistants to Enhance TCP Performance: Analysis of the Packet Delivery Delay,” in IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS), 2024.
