Keeping clocks in sync with up to five-nanosecond accuracy (for hardware-based timestamps) is quite an achievement, but the idea here was always to go up the stack and build tools on top of this fundamental technology. The first tool, Latency Sensei, provides users with fine-grained data about latency in their networks. Now, Clockwork is bundling this tool with other features and a new \u201csense-and-control\u201d dashboard for managing them all, aiming to help businesses reduce network latency, jitter and virtually eliminate packet drops between their machines, regardless of location or computing environments.<\/p>\n Traditionally, to reduce packet drops (and those drops and their retransmissions are fundamental feature of TCP<\/a> that make the internet work), network switches use buffers. But as Clockwork co-founder and Stanford computer science professor Balaji Prabhakar<\/a> noted during an interview at KubeCon Europe earlier this month, this comes with a lot of overhead.<\/p>\n One-way measurements, the Clockwork team argues, is a far more accurate indicator of congestion than packet drops and in the company\u2019s demo, simply turning on this Packet Rocket congestion control feature, as the company calls it, drops packet loss to almost zero while reducing latency and increasing bandwidth utilization. That almost sounds too good to be true, but Clockwork can back up these claims and the company already has a number of enterprise customers that have successfully tested the overall Cloud Deluxe platform.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we have accurate clocks in networks, the first thing we do is measure congestion very accurately \u2014 one way, not round-trip\u00a0time divided by two. Second, if you can do the one-way measurement fast and\u00a0accurately, then you can actually control congestion in a way that you couldn\u2019t do before,\u201d Prabhakar explained. \u201cBecause most of the problem with network congestion, if you don\u2019t want to go towards packet drops \u2014 that\u2019s the nuclear option \u2014 if you don\u2019t want to go anywhere near that, people always say: here\u2019s a buffer.\u201d Figuring out how to measure congestion accurately is difficult, however, and even with a large buffer, it takes a number of packet drops (and the overhead associated with those) before the system reaches the necessary threshold to kick into action.<\/p>\n
