Abstract

When network bandwidth is no longer a bottleneck for Internet applications, we still face the challenges of how to utilize the bandwidth in full when transferring data. This might sound straightforward, but it is far from being easy or straightforward. Lots of work has been done to improve the utilization of abundant network bandwidth, while maintaining the same reliability, efficiency, and fairness of slow protocols, like TCP. In this chapter, the authors introduce the background of emerging bandwidth-intensive applications, related works that are in place to solve these issues, and their limitations to make the challenges clear to the readers. Similar challenges also present for large-scale data preservation.
