NS-3 simulator for TLT

This is an official Github repository for the Eurosys '21 paper "Towards timeout-less transport in commodity datacenter networks.".

This repository provides a NS-3 simulator for TLT, based on version 3.29. This simlator includes PFC implementation from here and custom DCTCP implementation.

If you find this repository useful in your research, please consider citing:

}

Note

This simulator implements TLT for TCP and DCTCP. This may include minor We implemented TLT for RDMA on top of the different codebase. We plan to open-source the RDMA flavored version for TLT on request.

Guide

0. Prerequisites

We tested the simulator on Ubuntu 18.04, but latest versions of Ubuntu should also work.

sudo apt install build-essential python3 libgtk-3-0 bzip2

1. Configure

wget https://www.nsnam.org/releases/ns-allinone-3.29.tar.bz2
tar -xvf ns-allinone-3.29.tar.bz2
cd ns-allinone-3.29
rm -rf ns-3.29
git clone https://github.com/kaist-ina/ns3-tlt-tcp-public.git ns-3.29
cd ns-3.29
./waf configure --build-profile=optimized

2. Build and Run simulations

You can run the large-scale simulation from the paper by issuing following:

./waf --run 'tcp-realistic-workload-bgfg config/config.txt'

Configuration

You can configure the simulator by changing config/config.txt file. (TBU)
