Abstract In recent years, Data Centers Networks (DCNs) have been deployed to serve as the
backbone to support the extensive variety of services offered through the Internet like social …

In the literature, congestion control schemes have been broadly studied. Nevertheless, this
subject needs to be reviewed in the context of Carrier Ethernet. Congestion happens when …

Traditional fair bandwidth sharing by leveraging AIMD-based congestion control
mechanisms faces great challenges in data center networks. Much work has been done to …

The drive towards richer and more interactive web content places increasingly stringent
requirements on datacenter network performance. Applications running atop these networks …

Datacenter networking is currently dominated by two major trends. One aims toward
lossless, flat layer-2 fabrics based on Converged Enhanced Ethernet or InfiniBand, with …

The data center bridging (DCB) protocols enable Ethernet to become the leading unified
fabric for a converged data center. As a part of DCB, priority flow control (PFC) is a control …

Congestion control becomes indispensable in highly utilized consolidated networks running
demanding applications. In this paper, proactive congestion management schemes for Clos …
