In Revisiting Heavy-Hitters: Don’t count packets, compute flow inter-packet metrics in the data plane we explore the possibility to detect heavy flows in the data plane by keeping track of the per-flow Inter Packet Gap (IPG) metric instead of flow counters. In Automatic Optimization of Software Data Planes instead, we make a case for a compiler that continuously optimizes software data planes at run-time. Furthermore, we propose its architecture and discuss the challenges associated with its design.
