Abstract
The host network integrates processor, memory, and peripheral interconnects to enable data transfer within the host. Several recent studies from production datacenters show that contention within the host network can have significant impact on end-to-end application performance. The goal of this paper is to build an in-depth understanding of such contention within the host network.
