SIMON reconstructs per-switch queue averages from edge TX/RX timestamps and a small set of probes, solves an underdetermined linear system with Lasso and then replaces it with a trained neural net for near real-time output. Key specifics: probes at ~1% bandwidth, 5,000–10,000× speedup over iterative Lasso, measured accuracy of 3–5 KB queue error and link utilization <1%, validated with NetFPGAs, cross-validation, and deployments on 1/10/40 G testbeds; requires path knowledge and microsecond-class clock sync.
