# Network Requirements for Resource Disaggregation ### Problem * Disaggregated datacenter (DDC) makes it easier for each resource technology to evolve independently, reduces the time-to-adoption, and enables fine-grained and efficient provisioning and scheduling of individual resources aross jobs. * A key enabling (or blocking) factor for disaggregation is the network, as disaggregating CPU from memory and disk requires inter-resource communication to traverse the network fabric. However there has been little systematic evaluation of the network requirements for disaggregation. ### Main Idea * This paper takes the first stab at evaluating the minimum (bandwidth and latency) requirements that the network in disaggregated datacenters must provide. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://sliu583.gitbook.io/blog/networking/index/cs-268-adv-network/disaggregation/network-requirements-for-resource-disaggregation.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
