A datacenter network framework that aims for high utilization with zero queueing. A logically centralized arbiter controls and orchestrates all network transfers.
This is a code release of Fastpass: "a datacenter network framework that aims for high utilization with zero queueing. It provides low median and tail latencies for packets, high data rates between machines, and flexible network resource allocation policies. The key idea in Fastpass is fine-grained control over packet transmission times and network paths.
A logically centralized arbiter controls and orchestrates all network transfers."
