The proposition of increased innovation in network applications and reduced cost for
network operators has won over the networking world to the vision of software-defined …

A software-defined network (SDN) separates the network control plane from the data
forwarding plane. SDN has shown significant benefits in many ways compared to …

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a popular approach to finetune pre-trained large language
models (LLMs) to specific domains. This paper introduces dLoRA, an inference serving …

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 …

Can we get network latency between any two servers at any time in large-scale data center
networks? The collected latency data can then be used to address a series of challenges …

Maglev is Google's network load balancer. It is a large distributed software system that runs
on commodity Linux servers. Unlike traditional hardware network load balancers, it does not …

By moving network appliance functionality from proprietary hardware to software, Network
Function Virtualization promises to bring the advantages of cloud computing to network …

Debugging faults in complex networks often requires capturing and analyzing traffic at the
packet level. In this task, datacenter networks (DCNs) present unique challenges with their …

The cloud gateway is essential in the public cloud as the central hub of cloud traffic. We
show that horizontal scaling of software gateways, once sustainable for years, is no longer …

Public edge platforms have drawn increasing attention from both academia and industry. In
this study, we perform a first-of-its-kind measurement study on a leading public edge …
