Data center networks demand high-performance, robust, and practical data plane load
balancing protocols. Despite progress, existing work falls short of meeting these …

The topologies of current data center networks are typically multi-rooted trees (eg leaf–
spine) with rich parallel paths between any pair of hosts. Recent progress has demonstrated …

Modern datacenter topologies typically are multi-rooted trees consisting of multiple paths
between any given pair of hosts. Recent load balancing designs focus on making full use of …

Abstract In current Data center Networks (DCNs), Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) is a default
load-balancing scheme. However, using ECMP may result in the rapid growth of Flow …

Load Balancing plays a vital role in cloud data centers to distribute traffic among instances of
network functions or services. State-of-the-art load balancers dispatch traffic obliviously …

Modern data center networks provide multiple paths between any host pairs. Load
balancing traffic across these paths is critical to achieve low latency and high throughput …

Datacenter networks deal with a variety of workloads, ranging from latency-sensitive small
flows to bandwidth-hungry large flows. Load balancing schemes based on flow hashing, eg …

We present FDALB, a flow distribution aware load balancing mechanism aimed at reducing
flow collisions and achieving high scalability. FDALB, like the most of centralized methods …

The trend towards simple data center network fabric strips most network functionality,
including load balancing capabilities, out of the network core and pushes them to the edge …

th for various services. Yet today's widely used load balancing scheme, ie, ECMP, may
cause serious congestion when hash collision happens. Recent proposals either push load …
