- Additional information
- Real-time communications and conferencing increasingly uses TCP as its transport. For many connection types, retransmission and head-of-line blocking cause content to be delivered past its deadline when it is no longer useful. This work modifies TCP to label data with deadlines. Hollywood attaches a model to decide if a retransmission will arrive past its expiry, and instead send new data, crucially, in a manner that is wire-line compatible to avoid being tampered with by middleboxes. Hollywood is developed for the Linux kernel and source-code is available on GitHub.
