Abstract

This paper makes the case for explicit coordination of network transmission activities among virtual machines (VMs) in the data center Ethernet to proactively prevent network congestion. We think that virtualization has opened up new opportunities for explicit coordination that are simple, effective, currently feasible, and independent of switch-level hardware support. We show that explicit coordination can be implemented transparently without modifying any applications, standard protocols, network switches, or VMs.
