Datacenter applications (eg, web search, recommendation systems, and social networking)
are designed to have a high fanout for the purpose of achieving scalable performance …

Datacenter switching hardware trends are delivering higher bisection bandwidth but not
proportionally larger SRAM packet buffer capacity. The lack of buffer space challenges …

Transmission schemes in data centers are supposed to accurately distinguish flow types for
different scheduling. However, prior efforts failed to meet the needs at all levels in a cost …

In recent years, receiver-driven transport protocols have been proposed to use proactive
congestion control to meet the stringent latency requirements of large-scale applications in …

Cloud applications generate a variety of workloads ranging from delay-sensitive flows to
bandwidth-hungry ones in data centers. Existing reactive or proactive congestion control …

Recent years have seen a slew of papers on datacenter congestion control mechanisms. In
this editorial, we ask whether the bulk of this research is needed for the common case where …

To improve the quality of experience for worldwide users, an increasing number of service
providers deploy their services on geographically dispersed data centers, which are …

Many existing data center network (DCN) flow scheduling schemes, that minimize flow
completion times (FCT) assume prior knowledge of flows and custom switch functions …

To achieve scalable performance, datacenter applications (eg, search and social
networking) are designed to have high fanout. However, such a design leads to frequent …

Explicit congestion notification (ECN) has been widely adopted by recent proposals to build
up high-throughput and low-latency datacenter network transport. In these ECN-based …
