2018 Latency Network Virtualization

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

AWS Graviton2); for memory with the arrival of DDR5 and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) on-processor; for storage including new uses for 3D Xpoint as a 3D NAND accelerator; for networking with the rise of QUIC and eXpress Data Path (XDP); and so on. Ford, et al., “TCP

more capable, and built from the ground up for the modern era of the eBPF virtual machine. eBPF was created by Alexei Starovoitov while at PLUMgrid (he's now at Facebook) as a generic in-kernel virtual machine, with software defined networks as the primary use case. Here's key differences as of August 2018: Type DTrace bpftrace.

The truth is that the two tools were fairly distinct until PSI was updated in 2018 to use Lighthouse reporting. You might think of it like racing a car in virtual reality, where the conditions are decided in advance, rather than racing on a live track where conditions may vary.
