Ultra-Low Overhead Protocol for Efficient Data-Center Networking

网络的当前状态可以被描述为一个复杂的协议迷宫。此外，有一个很大的需要 ** 减少大量的能源消耗的电力。另一方面，很难提出解决方案来大幅度降低消耗，因为不可能在不破坏网络行为的情况下简化所使用的协议集。拟议的项目通过提出一个简单但功能强大的协议，探索了一些简化网络基础设施的方向，该协议将大大减少网络 ** 设备的工作量。该方法包括，首先，提出一个基于概念的协议，允许以避免拥塞的方式管理流量（从而简化基础设施）。接下来，将 ** 选择一个流行的软件库并将其移植到新环境中。最后，我们将评估新协议带来的收益，并 ** 提出未来的研究途径，通过更好的协议 ** 和简化的网络基础设施来降低功耗。

The current state of networking can be described as a complex maze of protocols. Also, there is a great need of**reducing the enormous amount of energy that is consumed by datacenters. On the other hand, it is very difficult**to propose solutions to reduce consumption by a large percentage because it is impossible to simplify the set of**protocols used without breaking the behavior of the network.**The proposed project explores some directions toward a major simplification of the networking infrastructure**by proposing a simple but powerful protocol that will allow a much-reduced workload on networking**equipment.**The approach consists of, first, proposing a protocol based on concepts that allow managing traffic in such a**way as to avoid congestion (thus, simplifying the infrastructure). Next, a popular software library will be**selected and ported to the new environment. Finally, we will assess the gains brought by the new protocol and**propose future research avenues toward the objective of reducing power consumption through better protocols**and simplified networking infrastructure.
