Abstract:
Described are techniques to use adaptive learning to control bandwidth or rate of transmission of a computer on a network. Congestion observations such as packet delay and packet loss are used to compute a congestion signal. The congestion signal is correlated with information about actual congestion on the network, and the transmission rate is adjusted according to the degree of correlation. Transmission rate may not adjust when packet delay or packet loss is not strongly correlated with actual congestion. The congestion signal is adaptively learned. For instance, the relative effects of loss and delay on the congestion signal may change over time. Moreover, an operating congestion level may be minimized by adaptive adjustment.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communicating over a network is provided. The method includes obtaining building block codes, where the building blocks codes are capable of being used together to provide an end-to-end service. The building block codes are sent to each appropriate building block controller, where each building block controller is associated with a corresponding network node. Upon receiving a first packet of a connection for the first end-to-end service, a determination as to which network nodes of the plurality of network nodes should be used as network hops for the connection, and as to, for each network node that should be used as a network hop for the connection, which building block codes should be used by the building block controller corresponding to the network node. These determinations are communicated to each of the appropriate building block controllers.

Abstract:
In an embodiment of the disclosed principles, a device and method are provided for augmenting a virtual reality experience. The invention includes an absorbent pad configured to absorb a fragrant liquid and a housing configured to hold the absorbent pad within, while allowing fragrance of the pad to permeate through or escape out of the housing. A coupling mechanism is further provided for detachably coupling the housing to an exterior surface of a virtual reality (VR) headset.
