Latency is increasingly becoming a performance bottleneck for Internet Protocol (IP)
networks, but historically, networks have been designed with aims of maximizing throughput …

This paper reviews advanced optical burst switching (OBS) and optical packet switching
(OPS) technologies and discusses their roles in the future photonic Internet. Discussions …

We report on experiences with Swift congestion control in Google datacenters. Swift targets
an end-to-end delay by using AIMD control, with pacing under extreme congestion. With …

5G, as a monumental shift in cellular communication technology, holds tremendous potential
for spurring innovations across many vertical industries, with its promised multi-Gbps speed …

Cloud data centers host diverse applications, mixing workloads that require small
predictable latency with others requiring large sustained throughput. In this environment …

Bandwidth reservation can effectively improve the service quality for data transfers because
of dedicated network resources. However, it is difficult to achieve a desired tradeoff between …

In an ideal world, all research papers would be runnable: simply click to replicate all results,
using the same setup as the authors. One approach to enable runnable network systems …

Datacenter networks require efficient multi-path load balancing to achieve high bisection
bandwidth. Despite much progress in recent years towards addressing this challenge, a …

Data centers house some of the largest, fastest networks in the world. In contrast to and as a
result of their speed, these networks operate on very small timescales---a 100 Gbps port …

Today's networks are suffering from unnecessary latency and poor system performance. The
culprit is bufferbloat, the existence of excessively large and frequently full buffers inside the …
