Abstract:

TCP/IP is the core technology underpinning the Internet. Without the
TCP/IP protocol stack, there is no current Internet. TCP Veno was invented
in 2001 to eliminate the outstanding problem that TCP performance is
degraded significantly by random loss in wireless networks. Since it is
recognized in IEEE-JSAC (Feb. 2003), many new achievements on Veno,
including industry cooperation and academic papers, have been further
accomplished. This talk presents Veno's past in how it was invented, and
the most challenging issues facing the research at the time. Then the talk
will present work in Veno's streaming support, Veno's security concerns
and Veno's performance, which are being carried out by researchers in
internationally. Finally the talk shares Veno's latest achievements in 4th
generation communication -Veno II. The Veno work was supported by an Area
of Excellence in Information Technology (AoE-IT) of Hong Kong.
