This project aims at designing efficient, adaptive link level load balancers for networks that handle different kinds of traffic, in particular networks where flows are heterogeneous in terms of their round trip times.

Network key value stores are used throughout the cloud as a storage backends (eg AWS ShardStore) and are showing up in devices (eg NVMe KV SSD). The KV clients use traditional network sockets and POSIX APIs to communicate with the KV store.
