On Meeting Deadlines in Datacenter Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Datacenters have become increasingly important to host a diverse range of cloud applications with mixed workloads. Traditional applications hosted by datacenters are throughput-oriented without delay requirements, but newer generations of cloud applications, such as web search, recommendations, and social networking, typically employ a tree-based Partition-Aggregate structure, which may incur bursts of traffic. As a result, flows in these applications have stringent latency requirements, i.e., flow deadlines need to be met in order to achieve a satisfactory user experience. To meet these flow deadlines, research efforts in the recent literature have attempted to redesign flow and congestion control protocols that are specific to datacenter networks. In this paper, we focus on the new array of deadline-sensitive flow control protocols, thoroughly investigate their underlying design principles, analyze the evolution of their designs, and evaluate the tradeoffs involved in their design choices.

Large cloud companies manage dozens of datacenters across the globe connected using dedicated inter-datacenter networks. An important application of these networks is data replication which is done for purposes such as increased resiliency via making backup copies, getting data closer to users for reduced delay and WAN bandwidth usage, and global load balancing. These replications usually lead ...

An important class of datacenter applications, called Online DataIntensive (OLDI) applications, includes Web search, online retail, and advertisement. To achieve good user experience, OLDI applications operate under soft-real-time constraints (e.g., 300 ms latency) which imply deadlines for network communication within the applications. Further, OLDI applications typically employ tree-based alg...

In its never-ending quest to improve datacenter performance, the research community has produced a continuing stream of papers on datacenter congestion control. These proposals differ along many dimensions, including how congestion is detected and signaled, how end hosts adapt to congestion, and how packets are scheduled by the switches. The result is a cornucopia of datacenter congestion contr...
