Couldn’t make it to NSDI ’25 or missed my talk?.Here’s the recording: We presented PACKS, the first programmable scheduler to approximate PIFO across all dimensions — showing why both admission control and scheduling matter in programmable scheduling.

Tomorrow, @akshayknarayan will discuss how the Internet should manage bandwidth allocation at SIGCOMM'24. He will present Recursive Congestion Shares (RCS), a framework to provide CCA-independent bandwidth allocations that are consistent with the Internet’s economics. 🙌🚀.

Our paper, "Everything Matters in Programmable Scheduling," has been accepted at NSDI'25! 🎉🎉. We propose PACKS, a programmable scheduler that approximates both PIFO's scheduling and admission behaviors. Joint work with our friends at BME-TMIT, USC, and Microsoft. Pre-print 👇

Very happy to share that I'll be visiting the Berkeley NetSys Lab at @UCBerkeley for the next few months. It will be an honor to work under the guidance of Prof. Sylvia Ratnasamy and Prof. Scott Shenker. If you happen to be in the area, let's chat! 🚀🚀.

Sorting my room I found this newspaper from 2015 in which they interview @martin_casado. Back then, I had not even finished my Bachelor's and most probably did not know about SDN. Still, for some reason I decided to store it. Today, needless to say. 🙈 Our destiny is written😜

I had a lot of fun yesterday presenting O4 at #EuroP4. By introducing three simple constructs to P4 -- arrays, loops, and factories -- O4 reduces code volumes significantly while preserving P4's expressivity and fine-grained control 🚀🙌. Slides here:

4) This intro made my day 🙌. Five years ago, @lvanbever invited me to join his group as Master's student to work on predictable networks in p4, which I didn't know🙃. Today, four years into my PhD, I couldn't be happier of that decision: it seems we took the right direction.🚀.
