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.

The incremental deployability of RTT-based congestion avoidance for high speed TCP Internet connections
SIGMETRICS '00: Proceedings of the 2000 ACM SIGMETRICS international conference on Measurement and modeling of computer systemsOur research focuses on end-to-end congestion avoidance algorithms that use round trip time (RTT) fluctuations as an indicator of the level of network congestion. The algorithms are referred to as delay-based congestion avoidance or DCA. Due to the ...
