I was recently looking at congestion control algorithms - endpoint-based ones -
that would deal with very low level, very low latency requirements in
datacenters that use high speed switch fabrics. (note: congestion control in
such datacenters is a very, very real issue, especially since some layer 2
switches are overbuffered by a huge factor, so they don't signal congestion
while building very long queues at 40-400 Gb/sec)
I came across this work from MIT CSAIL [
https://ccp-project.github.io/ccp-guide/ ](
https://ccp-project.github.io/ccp-guide/ )
I also was looking back to DCCP as a useful way to get a UDP that handled
congestion without engaging the higher layers, and preserving the other
flexibility of UDP.
Anyone here have any experience with looking at the performance of these,
especially w.r.t. Cake, which operates at the IP layer and thus takes direct
advantage of IP congestion signalling? Does libreqos look like it might help?
[as the guy most associated with the creation of UDP, this remains an area of
great interest personally, and is also presumably of relevance to QUIC... I
don't know if either of these things are supported in systems other than Linux,
but in server datacenters and my home lab, Linux networking is all that matters]
