Datacenters provide cost-effective and flexible access to scalable compute and storage
resources necessary for today's cloud computing needs. A typical datacenter is made up of …

We report on experiences with Swift congestion control in Google datacenters. Swift targets
an end-to-end delay by using AIMD control, with pacing under extreme congestion. With …

Congestion control (CC) is the key to achieving ultra-low latency, high bandwidth and
network stability in high-speed networks. From years of experience operating large-scale …

Homa is a new transport protocol for datacenter networks. It provides exceptionally low
latency, especially for workloads with a high volume of very short messages, and it also …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

This paper presents our design and experience with a microkernel-inspired approach to
host networking called Snap. Snap is a userspace networking system that supports Google's …

Quantum communication brings radically new capabilities that are provably impossible to
attain in any classical network. Here, we take the first step from a physics experiment to a …

In data centers, packet losses cause high retransmission delays, which is harmful to many
real-time workloads. To prevent packet losses, the lossless fabrics have been deployed in …

Increasingly stringent throughput and latency requirements in datacenter networks demand
fast and accurate congestion control. We observe that the reaction time and accuracy of …

We present the nanoPU, a new NIC-CPU co-design to accelerate an increasingly pervasive
class of datacenter applications: those that utilize many small Remote Procedure Calls …
