In a irc channel this week, one guy posted a link<\/a> about visualization latency in a data center switching network .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it was really good video for understanding how congestion happens inside the switch infrastructure and a very original idea to overcome this problem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried to get a bit more info about the video and ended in the page of that paper:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.cs.ucl.ac.uk\/news\/article\/sigcomm_best_paper_award_for_mark_handley\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And see if there was any implementation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not a researcher but the idea is quite original and it seems you dont need to re-invent the wheel. In the github repo even there is an example in P4. P4<\/a> is going to be big, and Barefoot has already commercial solutions about it with their tofino<\/a> chip. Let’s see what Intel<\/a> does with it… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on a continuation paper<\/a>, it seems there is no much traction from the big cloud providers, and it surprises me, these guys have the muscle to make this kind of things. I always heard that hardware is very expensive to built and software is not. So there are few player willing to invest in new ideas. Everytime you hear about unicorn companies<\/a>, nearly all of them are software companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And another paper<\/a> says it needs more tuning\/debugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know if it will successful in the future but I think it was interesting watching the video and reading about the concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
