DChannel - Accelerating Mobile Applications With Parallel High-bandwidth and Low-latency Channels

Explore a conference talk from NSDI '23 that introduces DChannel, a novel approach to accelerate mobile applications using parallel high-bandwidth and low-latency channels. Discover how this innovative packet-steering scheme leverages the simultaneous use of two channels—one for high bandwidth and another for low latency—to enhance the performance of common Internet applications. Learn about the potential benefits of this approach, including improved web page load times and increased responsiveness of mobile apps by 16-40% compared to using exclusively high-bandwidth channels. Gain insights into how this technology addresses the fundamental bandwidth-latency tradeoff in wireless channel design and its implications for service providers in making low latency channels more widely available.
