HyGenICC is a End-host shim layer, hypervisor layer or vswitch layer to enforce end-to-end rate shaping based on network feedback in Data Centre Networks. Specifically, it aims at achieving a Generic (Transport-protocol Agnostic) Congestion Control in data centers.
It is implemented as a load-able Linux-Kernel Module and as a Patch applicable to OpenvSwitch datapath
