| Abstract: | : | AI workloads exhibit traffic patterns that stress data center networks unlike any other compute or storage workloads, posing unique challenges for network performance and efficiency. In this talk, I will discuss some of these challenges, and deep dive into one new mechanism that aids traffic optimization and network efficiency in this context - a practical and effective in-band signaling protocol called Congestion Signaling (CSIG). We will explore CSIG’s use cases in congestion control, traffic engineering and telemetry in software-defined networks that serve AI traffic and beyond; and outline new avenues of research that it enables. |
