MIT researchers have created a new network-management system, called Fastpass, that they say cuts down on the long wait times that occur during periods of heavy network congestion. The research team will present its findings during the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication conference in mid August.

Fastpass is a datacenter network framework that aims for high utilization with zero queueing. It provides low median and tail latencies for packets, high data rates between machines, and flexible network resource allocation policies. The key idea in Fastpass is fine-grained control over packet transmission times and network paths. A logically centralized arbiter controls and orchestrates all network transfers.
