Congratulations to Brice Ekane, Djob Mvondo, and Yérom-David Bromberg for their paper entitled “DiSC: Backpressure Mitigation In Multi-tier Applications With Distributed Shared Connection” accepted at NSDI 2025, a flagship conference in network and systems. This work targets load reduction on frontend servers by intelligently displacing the load on backend servers while ensuring active connections are not lost during the process. This is joint work with Alain Tchana and Renaud Lachaize from the KrakOS Inria team at the University of Grenoble Alpes and Daniel Hagimont of the University of Toulouse III (and member of the IRIT laboratory). A preprint will soon be available.
