SFC: Near-Source Congestion Signaling and Flow Control
Yanfang Le, Jeongkeun Lee, Jeremias Blendin +11
State-of-the-art congestion control algorithms for data centers alone do not cope well with transient congestion and high traffic bursts. To help with these, we revisit the concept…
A case for location based contact tracing
Atul Pokharel, Robert Soulé, Avi Silberschatz
We present an evaluation of the effectiveness of manual contact tracing compared to bulletin board contact tracing. We show that bulletin board contact tracing gives comparable res…
Partitioned Paxos via the Network Data Plane
Huynh Tu Dang, Pietro Bressana, Han Wang +6
Consensus protocols are the foundation for building fault-tolerant, distributed systems, and services. They are also widely acknowledged as performance bottlenecks. Several recent…
NetChain: Scale-Free Sub-RTT Coordination (Extended Version)
Xin Jin, Xiaozhou Li, Haoyu Zhang +5
Coordination services are a fundamental building block of modern cloud systems, providing critical functionalities like configuration management and distributed locking. The major…
Optimistic Aborts for Geo-distributed Transactions
Theo Jepsen, Leandro Pacheco de Sousa, Huynh Tu Dang +2
Network latency can have a significant impact on the performance of transactional storage systems, particularly in wide area or geo-distributed deployments. To reduce latency, syst…
Network Hardware-Accelerated Consensus
Huynh Tu Dang, Pietro Bressana, Han Wang +5
Consensus protocols are the foundation for building many fault-tolerant distributed systems and services. This paper posits that there are significant performance benefits to be ga…
Kulfi: Robust Traffic Engineering Using Semi-Oblivious Routing
Praveen Kumar, Yang Yuan, Chris Yu +3
Wide-area network traffic engineering enables network operators to reduce congestion and improve utilization by balancing load across multiple paths. Current approaches to traffic…
Paxos Made Switch-y
Huynh Tu Dang, Marco Canini, Fernando Pedone +1
This paper describes an implementation of the well-known consensus protocol, Paxos, in the P4 programming language. P4 is a language for programming the behavior of network forward…
Merlin: A Language for Provisioning Network Resources
Robert Soulé, Shrutarshi Basu, Parisa Jalili Marandi +4
This paper presents Merlin, a new framework for managing resources in software-defined networks. With Merlin, administrators express high-level policies using programs in a declara…
