title = "Enabling Service Queue Isolation in Multi-Tenant Data Centers",
abstract = "To isolate service queues in data centers, recent solutions assume Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)-enabled end-hosts. However, this assumption is not valid in multi-tenant environments where tenants own the network stack. This letter presents BarberQ, a multi-queue management scheme that isolates service queues without dependency on transport protocols. At the heart of BarberQ lies dynamic buffer sharing through packet eviction. Our benchmark results demonstrate that BarberQ not only achieves minimum guarantees and work conservation, but also provides low latency.",

Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/LCOMM.2019.2939814 Fig. 1. Goodput and queue length when two services share the bottleneck. Service 1 generates a flow at the beginning and service 2 generates 8 flows at 0.5 seconds. Although each service has the same weight and the bandwidth is expected to be guaranteed by packet schedulers, service 1 cannot grab a half of bandwidth due to excessive buffer occupancy of service 2.
