- Network latency severely impacts the performance of applications running on supercomputers. Adaptive routing algorithms route packets over different available paths to reduce latency and improve network utilization. However, if a switch routes packets belonging to the same network flow on different paths, they might arrive at the destination out-of-order due to differences in the latency of these paths. For some transport protocols like TCP, QUIC, and RoCE, out-of-order (OOO) packets might cause large performance drops or significantly increase CPU utilization. In this work, we propose flowcut switching, a new adaptive routing algorithm that provides high-performance in-order packet delivery. Differently from existing solutions like flowlet switching, which are based on the assumption of bursty traffic and that might still reorder packets, flowcut switching guarantees in-order delivery under any network conditions, and is effective also for non-bursty traffic, as it is often the case for RDMA.
