In the era of digitization, Data Center Networks (DCN) have emerged as a critical component
supporting infrastructure for cloud computing, big data analytics, online services, and more …

In this paper, we show that up to hundreds of software load balancer (SLB) servers can be
replaced by a single modern switching ASIC, potentially reducing the cost of load balancing …

The trend towards simple datacenter network fabric strips most network functionality,
including load balancing, out of the network core and pushes it to the edge. This slows …

Datacenter load balancers (or muxes) steer traffic destined to a given service across a
dynamic set of backend machines. To ensure consistent load balancing decisions when …

Large service providers use load balancers to dispatch millions of incoming connections per
second towards thousands of servers. There are two basic yet critical requirements for a …

Sharding is a fundamental building block of large-scale applications, but most have their
own custom, ad-hoc implementations. Our goal is to make sharding as easily reusable as a …

Fiber cut events reduce the capacity of wide-area networks (WANs) by several Tbps. In this
paper, we revive the lost capacity by reconfiguring the wavelengths from cut fibers into …

With the increasing volume of network traffic and the emergence of new types of attacks,
traditional network monitoring is facing significant challenges in ensuring network security …

Recent work introduced load-balancing algorithms that dynamically pick the best path
entirely in the data plane, to react to traffic dynamics on a small timescale. This paper takes …
