ABSTRACT
With the rapid growth of data centers, minimizing the queueing delay at network switches has been one of the key challenges. In this work, we analyze the shortcomings of the current TCP algorithm when used in data center networks, and we propose to use latency-based congestion detection and rate-based transfer to achieve ultra-low queueing delay in data centers.

Data center TCP (DCTCP)
SIGCOMM '10: Proceedings of the ACM SIGCOMM 2010 conferenceCloud data centers host diverse applications, mixing workloads that require small predictable latency with others requiring large sustained throughput. In this environment, today's state-of-the-art TCP protocol falls short. We present measurements of a ...

A switch-based approach to throughput collapse and starvation in data centers
Data center switches need to satisfy stringent low-delay and high-capacity requirements. To do so, they rely on small switch buffers. However, in case of congestion, data center switches may suffer from throughput collapse for short TCP flows as well as ...
