Short vs. long flows: a battle that both can win
conference contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 22:58 authored by Morteza Kheirkhah, Ian WakemanIan Wakeman, George ParisisGeorge ParisisIn this paper, we introduce MMPTCP, a hybrid transport protocol which aims at unifying the way data is transported in data centres. MMPTCP runs in two phases; initially, it randomly scatters packets in the network under a single congestion window exploiting all available paths. This is beneficial to latency-sensitive flows. During the second phase, MMPTCP runs in Multi-Path TCP mode, which has been shown to be very efficient for long flows. Initial evaluation shows that our approach significantly improves short flow completion times while providing high throughput for long flows and high overall network utilisation.
