Data centers (DCs), owing to the exponential growth of Internet services, have emerged as
an irreplaceable and crucial infrastructure to power this ever-growing trend. A DC typically …

Datacenters provide cost-effective and flexible access to scalable compute and storage
resources necessary for today's cloud computing needs. A typical datacenter is made up of …

Over the past one and half years, we have been using RDMA over commodity Ethernet
(RoCEv2) to support some of Microsoft's highly-reliable, latency-sensitive services. This …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of CONGA, a network-based
distributed congestion-aware load balancing mechanism for datacenters. CONGA exploits …

Datacenter networks employ multi-rooted topologies (eg, Leaf-Spine, Fat-Tree) to provide
large bisection bandwidth. These topologies use a large degree of multipathing, and need a …

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 …

The trend towards simple datacenter network fabric strips most network functionality,
including load balancing, out of the network core and pushes it to the edge. This slows …

Datacenter networks require efficient multi-path load balancing to achieve high bisection
bandwidth. Despite much progress in recent years towards addressing this challenge, a …

Data center networks usually employ the scale-out model to provide high bisection
bandwidth for applications. A large amount of data is required to be transferred frequently …

Production datacenters operate under various uncertainties such as traffic dynamics,
topology asymmetry, and failures. Therefore, datacenter load balancing schemes must be …
