A TDMA MAC layer for commodity Ethernet hardware is designed and implemented that allows end hosts to dispense with TCP's reliability and congestion control and is found to result in higher bandwidth for MapReduce shuffle workloads, lower latency for RPC workloads in the presence of background traffic, and more efficient operation in highly dynamic and hybrid optical/electrical networks.
