Leveraging Domino to Implement RCP in a Stateful Programmable Pipeline

This paper implements RCP [2] in a router dataplane using Domino programming language. RCP is a router-assisted congestion control protocol. RCP has been found to outperform host-centric TCP in achieving higher throughput, lower latecncy, faster flow completio and so on [1, 2, 4]. However it is very hard to implement RCP in a high-speed router dataplane [3]. Currently there is no router that properly supports RCP, to the best of our knowledge. This paper presents an implementation of RCP using Domino.
Getting Started This experiment is performed on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 however any Linux distribution should work.
- Install Domino according to their website
- clone https://github.com/tamimcse/domino-examples/
- Enable permission to your tmp directory (sudo chmod a+rwx -R /tmp/). This directory will be used by Domino.
- You will find rcp-real.c in our domino-examples directory. This is our implementation. Now compile the program using the command sh compile.sh domino-programs/rcp-real.c banzai_atoms/sub.sk 15 2 true
