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 …

In recent years, much attention has been focused on deploying service function chains
(SFCs), each of which is composed of a set of virtual network functions (VNFs) in a specified …

Datacenter applications (eg, web search, recommendation systems, and social networking)
are designed to have a high fanout for the purpose of achieving scalable performance …

Recent proposals have leveraged Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to achieve high
throughput low latency data center network (DCN) transport. However, most of them …

To improve the quality of experience for worldwide users, an increasing number of service
providers deploy their services on geographically dispersed data centers, which are …

Data center networks employ parallel paths to perform load balancing. Existing traffic
splitting schemes propose weighted traffic distribution across multiple paths via a centralized …

Data center networks (DCNs) act as critical infrastructures for emerging technologies. In
general, a DCN involves a multi-rooted tree with various shortest paths of equal length from …

In recent years, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has been widely deployed in data
centers to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth services. To ensure high performance in …

RDMA is becoming prevalent because of its low latency, high throughput and low CPU
overhead. However, current RDMA remains a single path transport which is prone to failures …

Based on software-defined networking (SDN), many online service providers deploy novel
online traffic engineering (TE) schemes in their data center networks. The online TE epoch …
