# Aquila: A unified, low-latency fabric for datacenter networks

### Take 

* Paper writing 
  * Need elaborations on the system motivations
  * Need comparisons on alternative designs and benchmarks 
  * Which components work the best 
* General stuff about industrial paper
  * Develop under specific architecture and design, would it generalize to research projects in other companies and labs 
* Some discussions 
  * How does this differ from infiniband besides fundamental approach it takes 
  * How will upgrade look like in a clique-based topology 
  * Dragonfly topology costs 
    * All connected \[wire cost] v.s Switch cost of additional routing 
    * Within a clique
