Scaling the capacity while maintaining low latency and power consumption is a challenge
for hierarchical data center networks (DCNs) based on electrical switches. In this work we …

In this paper, we assess the performance of techniques for optical burst switching (OBS)
designed for high performance computing (HPC) and cloud computing data center networks …

There are more and more structured traffic flows (aka coflow) in today's data center
networks. Completing a coflow is extremely important for various applications, eg …

Internet traffic has been increasing significantly over the last few years due to the
