How Attention Deep Learning Can Improve Copa Congestion Control Performance

Résumé

Most modern congestion control algorithms, that aim to optimize delay and throughput, exploit more metrics than the sole packet loss congestion information. These additional metrics are mostly based on the round trip time evolution and allow congestion controls to reach better performance, in particular on wireless and cellular links as demonstrated by Copa, BBR, or REMY. Basically, these metrics allow congestion control to estimate the queuing level of the path and its evolution, to assess the presence of congestion. Actually, a good estimation of this level obviously prevents congestion losses, but also allows assessing a ratio of error link losses among the whole observed losses. The consistency and accuracy of these metrics are key to good congestion control performance, and this explains, for instance, the good performance of Copa currently in production at Facebook. However, these metrics remain challenging and the quest of an accurate and practical estimation seems complex. This paper investigates how a novel deep learning algorithm, known as Attention, can help in assessing queuing evolution and status on an end-to-end path. Among others, we focus on the evolution of the total time spent by packets in the buffers, which is the key metric of Copa. The results unequivocally demonstrate a better accuracy of this metric used by Copa.
