A happy Programmers’ Day from the NorNet Control Center at the Simula Research Laboratory! Today, on September 12, i.e. the 256th (0x100-th) day of the year, is the Day of the Programmer (День программиста). We would like to use this Continue reading Happy Programmers’ Day!→

A new path management algorithm for Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) has been evaluated in the NorNet Core infrastructure. This algorithm, named Path Characteristic and Data Characteristic (PCDC), can achieve significant performance improvements in setups with heterogenous ISP connections. A paper has Continue reading New MPTCP Path Management Algorithm Evaluated in NorNet Core→
