Examining the round trip time and packet length effect on window size by using the Cuckoo search algorithm

Irregular sequences of inter-arrival times of packet(s) and packet lengths in a network session determine effective traffic performance. Crucial to this is the width of the sliding window. This study utilized raw data from network traffic and built a Neural Network (NN) model trained with the Cuckoo...
