The size of the capacity of data centers have been growing significantly during the last
years. Most data centers rely on switched Ethernet networks. A drawback of the Ethernet …

Currently implemented Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) cannot meet the requirement of a data
center due to its poor bandwidth utilization and lack of multipathing capability. In this paper …

SUMMARY Data Center Ethernet is likely to be deployed as the communication
infrastructure for future data centers, which carries multiple types of traffic with very different …

With the limitation of port densities in the highest-end commercial switches, topologies of
data center network often take the form of a multi-rooted tree with higher-speed links. In …

Operators of data centers want a scalable network fabric that supports high bisection
bandwidth and host mobility, but which costs very little to purchase and administer. Ethernet …

Modern data center networks (DCNs) often use multi-rooted topologies, which offer
multipath capability, for increased bandwidth and fault tolerance. However, traditional …

Conventional Ethernet protocols struggle to meet the scalability and performance
requirements of data centers. Viable replacements have been proposed for Data Center …

Data center communication networks are characterized by fast and intensive traffic changes,
to the extent that a statistical approach to routing has significant drawbacks. This paper …

In recent years, several topologies with multiple-path between each pairs of end hosts for
data center (DC) networks have been proposed. However, the path diversity is shown to be …
