CCC: Re-architecting Delay-based Congestion Control in Datacenter Networks
summary
Claims that delay signals alone can match switch-assisted CC by adding a CiD trustworthiness layer that splits operating space into regions and switches between analytical vs probing rate adjustment rules. Implements CCC in DPDK and evaluates with large simulations showing CCC matches INT-based HPCC and PowerTCP and outperforms DCQCN TIMELY and SWIFT on link utilization, tail latency, and AI training completion time. Builds lightweight per‑connection logic, reactive probing for untrustworthy regions, and fast convergence to fair rates.
