[iccrg] Congestion Control in Data Centers and HPC/RDMA environments

[Paul Congdon <[e-mail]>]

Hello ICCRG,

Jana suggested that I email the group with this call for interest on
Congestion Control for Data Centers.  At the last several IETF meetings
I've hosted side meetings and presented to various groups about work going
on in Data Center congestion control and scaling HPC/RDMA networks.  We
have been searching for a permanent venue within the IETF for this work.
 ICCRG is primarily focused on end-to-end congestion control across the
vast and expansive Internet.   The data center, and in particular, the
HPC/RDMA data center network has much different characteristics.   So, the
question to ICCRG is this; is this topic of interest to ICCRG and should
the charter be expanded to include DC congestion control, or is this a good
topic for a new research item in IRTF?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thank you,
Paul Congdon
