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

### Take&#x20;

* Paper writing&#x20;
  * Need elaborations on the system motivations
  * Need comparisons on alternative designs and benchmarks&#x20;
  * Which components work the best&#x20;
* General stuff about industrial paper
  * Develop under specific architecture and design, would it generalize to research projects in other companies and labs&#x20;
* Some discussions&#x20;
  * How does this differ from infiniband besides fundamental approach it takes&#x20;
  * How will upgrade look like in a clique-based topology&#x20;
  * Dragonfly topology costs&#x20;
    * All connected \[wire cost] v.s Switch cost of additional routing&#x20;
    * Within a clique&#x20;
