Augmented Queue: A Scalable In-Network Abstraction for Data Center Network Sharing
Xinyu Crystal Wu, Zhuang Wang, Weitao Wang, T. S. Eugene Ng · 2023
Traffic aggregates in cloud data center networks are by and large buffered and transmitted by simple physical FIFO queues. Despite the crucial role they play, a well-known problem of physical FIFO queues is that they are unable to provide precise bandwidth guarantees. This leads to a range of negative impacts spanning the application layer, the transport layer, and the data link layer.
