ABSTRACT
This paper presents a practical solution to a problem facing
high-fan-in, high-bandwidth synchronized TCP workloads
in datacenter Ethernets--the TCP incast problem. In these
networks, receivers can experience a drastic reduction in
application throughput when simultaneously requesting data
