Abstract:
The subject technology discloses configurations for receiving, at a first network device, a set of network packets corresponding to a first flow from a client, wherein the set of network packets includes a destination address of a second network device; detecting, in the received set of network packets, pacing rate information indicating a specified pacing rate for transmission of the network packets; determining, based on the detected pacing rate, a desired pacing rate to reduce packet dropping on route to the second network device; and transmitting, by the first network device, the set of network packets over an egress link at the desired pacing rate.

Abstract:
Methods for lower latency connections using speculative DNS resolution are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request at a client for a web resource to be sent to a hostname. The method also includes obtaining a speculative Domain Name System (DNS) resolution of the hostname from a source local to the client. The method also includes initiating a connection to the hostname using the obtained speculative DNS resolution of the hostname. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
