Title: Flow Ordering and Hierarchical Bottleneck Identification for High-Speed Data Networks - Phase II Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:1841087

Under this SBIR Phase II, Reservoir Labs has developed G2 Analytics, a new technology that allows network operators to analyze bottleneck and flow performance with high precision. G2 delivers a new analytical approach and framework to resolve a variety of key problems found in modern communication networks, including: traffic engineering, routing, flow scheduling, network design, capacity planning, resiliency analysis, network slicing, or service level agreement (SLA) management, among others. G2 leverages the bottleneck structure of congestion-controlled communication networks, a recent mathematical discovery by the Reservoir team [RL19b, RL20a, RL20b, RL21a]. Bottleneck structures reveal how perturbations on flows and links propagate through the network, providing an analytical framework to measure (qualitatively and quantitatively) the ripple effects induced as they traverse the network. Leveraging the mathematics of bottleneck structures, Reservoir Labs is developing the G2 technology to provide network operators with a framework to design, optimize and troubleshoot network performance.
