Query: ConfigTron: Tackling network diversity with heterogeneous configurations   The web serving protocol stack is constantly changing and evolving to tackle
technological shifts in networking infrastructure and website complexity. As a
result of this evolution, the web serving stack includes a plethora of
protocols and configuration parameters that enable the web serving stack to
address a variety of realistic network conditions. Yet, today, most content
providers have adopted a "one-size-fits-all" approach to configuring the
networking stack of their user facing web servers (or at best employ moderate
tuning), despite the significant diversity in end-user networks and devices. In
this paper, we revisit this problem and ask a more fundamental question: Are
there benefits to tuning the network stack? If so, what system design choices
and algorithmic ensembles are required to enable modern content provider to
dynamically and flexibly tune their protocol stacks. We demonstrate through
substantial empirical evidence that this "one-size-fits-all" approach results
in sub-optimal performance and argue for a novel framework that extends
existing CDN architectures to provide programmatic control over the
configuration options of the CDN serving stack. We designed ConfigTron a
data-driven framework that leverages data from all connections to identify
their network characteristics and learn the optimal configuration parameters to
improve end-user performance. ConfigTron uses contextual multi-arm bandit-based
learning algorithm to find optimal configurations in minimal time, enabling a
content providers to systematically explore heterogeneous configurations while
improving end-user page load time by as much as 19% (upto 750ms) on median.
