… the data center infrastructure to make the data center financially viable. Traffic in DCNs roughly
comprises short flows… long flows, which are data for the operation and maintenance of the …

… We start with network system where there are only short flows at first. The switches forward
flows … when a long flow enters to the network. Based on the length of the sampling period, the …

… for short flows at a lower rate compared to long flows at the onset of congestion, we could
improve the flow completion time for short flows … of DCTCP for cloud datacenters, based on the …

… need to be completed quickly, and long flows, such as large file transfers for … data center
networks, ensuring that both short flows, which seek low flow completion times, and long flows…

… congestion control protocol for datacenter networks in its own … mix of short and long flows
observed in datacenter networks. … first step towards a datacenter network stack that is optimized …

… The authors claim that these problems arise due to the lack of separation between longliving
elephant flows and short-living mouse flows. Their proposal aims to (1) detect elephant …

… In this section, we begin by analyzing datacenter network traffic measurements, describing
the phenomenon of the long tail. Next, we present two workflows commonly used by page …

… We believe that deferring congestion control to the Seawall shim is necessary in the datacenter
context. Enforcing network shares at the granularity of a flow no longer suffices (see §2). …

… multiple paths in datacenter networks. ECMP randomly maps a given flow to one of the paths
… such that all packets of a given flow follow the same path (ie, flow to path mapping is static). …

… tail flow completion times of short flows by up to 30% and 70%, and increases the throughputs
of long flows by about 1.68x over the state-of-the-art datacenter load balancing schemes. …
