FANT: Flexible Attention-Shifting Network Telemetry by Mingwei Cui, Yufan Peng, Fan Yang

“…As data center networks grow in scale and complexity, the active inband network telemetry (AINT) system collects a broader range of network status metrics to provide comprehensive visibility for AINT-related network applications, but it also leads to higher measurement costs. To address this issue, we introduce the Flexible Attention-shifting Network Telemetry (FANT), which dynamically focuses on critical links in each measurement cycle. …”
