Phanishayee et al (2008) Measurement and Analysis of TCP Throughput Collapse in Cluster-based Storage Systems (FAST)

July 20, 2011 paper

Describes the incast problem in storage networks. The incast problem is first described in the following two literatures: [more]

Krevat et al (2007) On Application-level Approaches to Avoiding TCP Throughput Collapse in Cluster-based Storage Systems (SC)

July 20, 2011 paper

A short paper that addresses the approaches to be taken by the application layer to mitigate the incast scenario. [more]

Podlesny & Williamson (2011) An Application-Level Solution for the TCP-incast Problem in Data Center Networks (IWQoS)

July 20, 2011 paper

A short paper on limiting the number of concurrent senders as a solution to TCP incast. The paper gives the optimal performance as a closed form solution, which the transfer time is in terms of just-fit, no-loss use of buffer at the bottleneck. To achieve this, we can send no... [more]
