SLATE: Intelligent Request Routing for Service-Layer Traffic Engineering

Explore intelligent request routing in modern deployments through this 22-minute conference talk presented by Aditya Prerepa from Aviatrix and Gangmuk Lim from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Delve into the limitations of current load balancing practices like Round Robin and Least Connection, and discover how Service-Layer Traffic Engineering (SLATE) can optimize request flow in multi-proxy environments. Learn how SLATE minimizes request latency and bandwidth costs while adapting to sudden load changes and prioritizing specific requests. Gain insights into advanced techniques such as call graph and compute cost prediction, and understand how these methods can enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of your deployment's request routing system.
