some word from avind's group.

"Thanks Dave for the pointer!  Sounds very interesting, so we will
definitely take a look.

We do have p4 code for AFQ and happy to send it your way.  There are
two crucial components to the AFQ implementation -- one is the switch
state stuff and that is easily expressed in p4, and the other is the
queue scheduling stuff which p4 currently doesn't provide any
knobs/mechanisms for realizing it.  But there are some upcoming
Barefoot mechanisms that can help us directly realize the necessary
mechanism (i.e., the rotating priority queue mechanism as described in
the paper) and we do think that the queue scheduling disciplines would
eventually make its way into standard p4 in some time..."

and

"Thanks for all of the pointers, especially the VJ talk!  We are in
fact working on timer wheels and calendar queues as a scheduling
primitive to ensure timely delivery of messages at the application
level -- for example, we can use such mechanisms to ensure low tail
latency for key-value requests and/or map-reduce co-flows.

We will get you the code and do go ahead and forward our work/emails
to the mailing lists."

my editorial comment: JOY. BLISS. RAPTURE. There is light at the end
of this tunnel.
