Size-based scheduling vs fairness for datacenter flows: a queuing perspective
James Roberts, Dario Rossi
Contrary to the conclusions of a recent body of work where approximate shortest remaining processing time first (SRPT) flow scheduling is advocated for datacenter networks, this pa…
Performance Benchmarking of State-of-the-Art Software Switches for NFV
Tianzhu Zhang, Leonardo Linguaglossa, Paolo Giaccone +2
With the ultimate goal of replacing proprietary hardware appliances with Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) implemented in software, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been ga…
Cache Subsidies for an Optimal Memory for Bandwidth Tradeoff in the Access Network
Mahdieh Ahmadi, James Roberts, Emilio Leonardi +1
While the cost of the access network could be considerably reduced by the use of caching, this is not currently happening because content providers (CPs), who alone have the detail…
Impact of Traffic Characteristics on Request Aggregation in an NDN Router
Mahdieh Ahmadi, James Roberts, Emilio Leonardi +1
The paper revisits the performance evaluation of caching in a Named Data Networking (NDN) router where the content store (CS) is supplemented by a pending interest table (PIT). The…
Multi-resource fairness: Objectives, algorithms and performance
Thomas Bonald, James Roberts
Designing efficient and fair algorithms for sharing multiple resources between heterogeneous demands is becoming increasingly important. Applications include compute clusters share…
Exploring the Memory-Bandwidth Tradeoff in an Information-Centric Network
James Roberts, Nada Sbihi
An information-centric network should realize significant economies by exploiting a favourable memory-bandwidth tradeoff: it is cheaper to store copies of popular content close to…
