Welcome to the Networked Systems Group

We are a dynamic research group of networked systems researchers, led by Prof. Rachit Agarwal in the Department of Computer Science at the Cornell University. Our research interests are in systems, networks, and theory.

Our on-going research activities are as follows:

Networks that never drop packets:

One of the core problems of current network fabrics is packet drops, that directly or indirectly lead to inefficiency and complexity. We are designing and building network fabrics and stacks that guarantee that packets will never be dropped.

Near-Perfect Datacenter Transport Design:

We are designing and building datacenter transport designs that provide provable worst-case guarantees.

Storage Disaggregation:

We are designing and building a new storage I/O stack for emerging high-performance network and storage hardware.

We are grateful for funding from the National Science Foundation, Google, and Snowflake.
