Abstract

As the link speed has grown steadily from 10 Gbps to 100 Gbps, high-speed data center networks (DCNs) require more efficient congestion management. Therefore, proactive transports, especially credit-based congestion control, nowadays have drawn much attention because of fast convergence, near-zero queueing and low latency. However, in real deployment scenarios, it is hard to guarantee one protocol to be deployed in every host at one time. Thus, when the credit-based protocols are deployed into DCNs incrementally, the network will convert to multi-protocol state and face the following fundamental challenges: (i) unfairness, (ii) non-convergence, and (iii) high buffer occupancy. In this paper, we propose a new protocol, called CCRP, aiming for converging credit-based and reactive protocols in data centers. Targeting the mostly deployed protocol, i.e. DCQCN based on explicit congestion notification (ECN), in DCNs, CCRP leverages the forward ECN to detect the network congestion in data queue and optimizes feedback control of the credit-based transports. Our experiment results show that this design can address the unfair link allocation and converge with reactive protocols rapidly. Furthermore, CCRP achieves high utilization and low buffer occupancy at the same time.
