While I strongly agree with their premise: "Multi-tenant DCNs cannot rely on specialized protocols and mechanisms that assume single ownership and end-system compliance. It is necessary rather to implement general, well-understood mechanisms provided as a network service that require as few assumptions about DC workload as possible."
... And there's a solid set of links to current work, and a very interesting comparison to pfabric, their DCTCP emulation is too flawed to be convincing, and we really should get around to making the ns2 fq_codel emulation fully match reality. This is also a scenario where I'd like to see cake tried, to demonstrate the effectiveness (or not!) of 8 way set associative queuing, cobalt, per host/per flow fq, etc, vs some of the workloads they outline. https://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/drossi/paper/rossi18hpsr.pdf -- Dave Täht CTO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-831-205-9740 _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list Cake@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
