Recently new data center topologies have been proposed that offer higher aggregate
bandwidth and location independence by creating multiple paths in the core of the network …

The latest large-scale data centers offer higher aggregate bandwidth and robustness by
creating multiple paths in the core of the net-work. To utilize this bandwidth requires different …

Cloud data centers host diverse applications, mixing in the same network a plethora of
workflows that require small predictable latency with others requiring large sustained …

A data center is a facility for housing computational and storage systems interconnected
through a communication network called data center network (DCN). Due to a tremendous …

Today's data centers may contain tens of thousands of computers with significant aggregate
bandwidth requirements. The network architecture typically consists of a tree of routing and …

While today's data centers are multiplexed across many non-cooperating applications, they
lack effective means to share their network. Relying on TCP's congestion control, as we …

Datacenter networks should support high network utilization. Yet today's routing is typically
load agnostic, so large flows can starve other flows if routed through overutilized links. Even …

Many data center transports have been proposed in recent times (eg, DCTCP, PDQ, pFabric,
etc). Contrary to the common perception that they are competitors (ie, protocol A vs. protocol …

In this paper, we observe that bandwidth sharing via TCP in commodity data center networks
organized in multi-rooted tree topologies can lead to severe unfairness, which we term as …

The growth of cloud-based services is mainly supported by the core networking
infrastructures of large-scale data centers, while the scalability of these services is …
