GitHub - microsoft/machnet: Machnet provides applications like databases and finance an easy way to access low-latency DPDK-based messaging on public cloud VMs. 750K RPS on Azure at 61 us P99.9. Machnet provides applications like databases and finance an easy way to access low-latency DPDK-based messaging on public cloud VMs. 750K RPS on Azure at 61 us P99.9. - microsoft/machnet

High-performance userspace networking rarely works for cloud VMs due to specialized NIC dependencies and rigid designs.
In β€œEnabling Fast Networking in the Public Cloud” (ACM ASPLOS 2026), we introduce Machnet, evaluated on Azure, EC2, and Google Cloud.

"Mako: Readily Deployable Congestion Control Achieving O(1)-step Convergence" got accepted at USENIX NSDI'26! We show that delay and delay gradient can rival INT, enabling to reach the target speed in constant time, independent of network conditions, without requiring specialized network features.

"Defending against Traffic Analysis Attacks with Flexible In-Network Obfuscation" got accepted at USENIX NSDI'26! In the paper we show that by using a combination of packets' fragmentation and generation of small TTL packets is possible to protect traffic against ML based classification techniques.

Interesting (and scary) to see a blog post (https://thenewstack.io/research-ebpf-not-always-a-silver-bullet-for-network-apps/) about a new paper (led by @fshahinfar1.bsky.social, along with @gianniantichi.bsky.social and Sebastiano) explainging that the new shiny technology is not a panacea.

Have you wondered about challenges in designing and running a datacenter that count up to 512K GPUs?

"Astral: A Datacenter Infrastructure for Large Language Model Training at Scale" will be presented at ACM SIGCOMM! Work in collaboration with Nanjing University, Harvard University and Tencent!

Enabling Virtual Priority in Data Center Congestion Control won the best student paper award at ACM EuroSys 2025! We propose a solution that extend existing congestion control algorithms for virtual priority transmission!
This wasn't possible without the star student Zhaochen and all the co-authors!

eBPF Arena: A Tutorial

Recently, I have been busy exploring eBPF Arena β€” a new API that enables eBPF programs to allocate memory pages; similar functionality as mmap and munmap . I've written a blog post about it that I like to share with you: fshahinfar1.github.io/blog/04_ebpf...
