A Centralized “Zero-Queue” Datacenter Network



The attached MIT paper describes Data Center Fast pass architecture where a centralized arbiter is used to decide upon when each packet should be transmitted and what path it

should follow.  In this architecture packets experience zero-queuing delay. It is amazing what you can do when you have small network. This paper will be presented next week in

Sigcomm 2014 conference.

 

The architecture described in this paper can be used in different contexts, not just in the data center. Can we use similar architecture in a small access network where each packet

is assigned a path between the 1904.2 management master and a managed device ?
