I would like to start with the contributions of this project.
I designed and implemented a new user space data transport protocol for high performance data transfer over the emerging high speed wide area optical networks. The implementation is an open source library with production quality. It has been used by many research institutes and anonymous users.
I designed the UDT congestion control algorithm that can be used for efficient and fair data transfer in distributed data intensive applications. I also proposed several techniques to deal with packet losses. In addition, I employed bandwidth estimation technique in the congestion control.
Finally, I also expanded the UDT implementation to become a configurable transport protocol framework. The Composable UDT allows users to easily implement and evaluate new control protocols.
I have done extensive evaluation work using simulations, experiments, and real world applications.
