With the growth of data volumes and variety of Internet applications, data centers (DCs) have
become an efficient and promising infrastructure for supporting data storage, and providing …

Data centers (DCs), owing to the exponential growth of Internet services, have emerged as
an irreplaceable and crucial infrastructure to power this ever-growing trend. A DC typically …

Data center clusters that run DNN training jobs are inherently heterogeneous. They have
GPUs and CPUs for computation and network bandwidth for distributed training. However …

Congestion control (CC) is the key to achieving ultra-low latency, high bandwidth and
network stability in high-speed networks. From years of experience operating large-scale …

Modern datacenter applications demand high throughput (40Gbps) and ultra-low latency (<
10 μs per hop) from the network, with low CPU overhead. Standard TCP/IP stacks cannot …

Modern datacenter networks provide very high capacity via redundant Clos topologies and
low switch latency, but transport protocols rarely deliver matching performance. We present …

Over the past one and half years, we have been using RDMA over commodity Ethernet
(RoCEv2) to support some of Microsoft's highly-reliable, latency-sensitive services. This …

Datacenter transports aim to deliver low latency messaging together with high throughput.
We show that simple packet delay, measured as round-trip times at hosts, is an effective …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of CONGA, a network-based
distributed congestion-aware load balancing mechanism for datacenters. CONGA exploits …

Network performance monitoring today is restricted by existing switch support for
measurement, forcing operators to rely heavily on endpoints with poor visibility into the …
