演讲简介

As datacenter networks migrate from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s and beyond, the traditional software-based TCP/IP stack cannot keep up with the increasing network speed. Consequently, hardware-based RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), originally invented in HPC, is now experiencing a renaissance in Ethernet-based datacenters. However, RDMA relies on lossless fabric to take effect, which poses various challenges for lossy datacenter networks. This talk will overview the research works from the community in recent years to address these challenges, as well as our efforts in the iSING Lab towards building a scalable and efficient RDMA networking for datacenters.
