Software-Defined Latency Monitoring in Data Center Networks

Data center network operators have to continually monitor path latency to quickly detect and re-route traffic away from high-delay path segments. Existing latency monitoring techniques in data centers rely on either (1) actively sending probes from end-hosts, which is restricted in some cases and can only measure end-to-end latencies, or (2) passively capturing and aggregating traffic on network devices, which requires hardware modifications.
