CSIG: Congestion Signaling for Datacenter Transports

This work introduces CSIG, a protocol that delivers precise, multi-bit bottleneck congestion signals via a fixed-length Ethernet header, and proposes Fast Ramp-Up, a congestion control primitive that leverages these bottleneck signals to reduce median RPC latency by 20% and unclaimed bandwidth by 60% in production.
