In the Ethernet lossless Data Center Networks (DCNs) deployed with Priority-based Flow
Control (PFC), the head-of-line blocking problem is still difficult to prevent due to PFC …

The data center bridging (DCB) protocols enable Ethernet to become the leading unified
fabric for a converged data center. As a part of DCB, priority flow control (PFC) is a control …

This paper proposes an enhanced transport layer protocol for precise flow control in data
centers, referred to as PFDCT, combining explicit rate control (priority scheduling) and …

In datacenters, lossless network is very attractive as it can achieve ultra-low latency. In
commodity Ethernet, lossless forwarding is achieved by hop-by-hop Priority-based Flow …

With the rapid development of cloud applications, the workload pattern of datacenters
presents the characteristics of mixed long and short flows and frequent micro-burst traffic …

In data centers, packet losses cause high retransmission delays, which is harmful to many
real-time workloads. To prevent packet losses, the lossless fabrics have been deployed in …

Abstract PFC (Priority-based Flow Control), which is used to give full play to the performance
advantages of RDMA, can cause problems such as head-of-line (HoL) blocking. PFC-based …

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging technology providing flexibility and
programmability to network. It is envisioned as a key enabler for future network innovation …

End-to-end congestion control in lossless data center networks (DCN) depends on
congestion detection. However, many current congestion control mechanisms ignore the …

Various datacenter network (DCN) load balancing schemes have been proposed in the past
decade. Unfortunately, most of these solutions designed for lossy DCNs do not work well for …
