Summary :

For recent datacenter networks, RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) can ease the overhead of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2) standard enables RDMA on widely deployed Ethernet technology. RoCEv2 leverages priority-based flow control (PFC) for realizing the lossless environment required by RDMA. However, PFC is well-known to have the technical weakness of head-of-line blocking. Congestion control for RDMA is a very hot research topic for datacenter networks. In this paper, we propose a novel congestion control algorithm for RoCEv2, TIDD (Timer-based Increase and Delay-based Decrease). TIDD basically combines the timer-based increase of DCQCN and delay-based decrease of TIMELY. Extensive simulation results show that TIDD satisfies the high throughput and low latency required for datacenter networks.
