Explore a groundbreaking approach to data center network congestion control in this 16-minute conference talk from NSDI '22. Dive into Backpressure Flow Control (BFC), a novel architecture that addresses the limitations of end-to-end congestion control algorithms. Learn how BFC implements per-hop per-flow flow control with bounded state and constant-time switch operations, achieving near-optimal throughput and tail latency even under challenging network conditions. Discover the implementation of BFC on Tofino2, a P4-based programmable hardware switch, and examine simulation results showcasing significant improvements in tail latency for short flows and average completion time for long flows compared to existing schemes. Gain insights into the future of efficient data center network management and its potential impact on network utilization and operational costs.
