CocoSketch: High-Performance Sketch-based Measurement over Arbitrary Partial Key Query

Introduction

CocoSketch is a sketch-based algorithm supporting arbitrary partial key query. It casts arbitrary partial key queries to the subset sum estimation problem and makes the theoretical tools for subset sum estimation practical. To realize desirable resource-accuracy tradeoffs in software and hardware platforms, we propose two techniques: (1) stochastic variance minimization to significantly reduce per-packet update delay, and (2) removing circular dependencies in the per-packet update logic to make the implementation hardware-friendly. We implement CocoSketch on four popular platforms (CPU, Open vSwitch, P4, and FPGA) and show that compared to baselines that use traditional single-key sketches, CocoSketch improves average packet processing throughput by 27.2× and accuracy by 10.4× when measuring six flow keys.

Our paper will appear in SIGCOMM 2021.
