Benson et al (2009) Understanding Data Center Traffic Characteristics (WREN)

April 16, 2011 paper

This is about an analysis of data collected in 19 data centers. The data center is supporting a wide range of applications, such as search, streaming, map-reduce, etc. Two set of data are collected: (1) SNMP data of every network device in a 5-minute interval for 10 days; and (2)... [more]

Francois (2007) Avoiding Transient Loops During the Convergence of Link-State Routing Protocols (TON)

April 6, 2011 paper

This paper studies the problem of transient loops in the time of link-state routing protocol convergence. When a link failure or recovery occurs in a link state protocol, there could be problems of transient loops. The loop is transient because it is a result of mixing the old routes with... [more]

Benson et al (2010) The Case for Fine-grained Traffic Engineering in Data-centers (INM/WREN)

March 21, 2011 paper

In DCN, congestion occurs in only up to a few seconds. This congestion can be alleviated if optimal routing is used. However, existing traffic engineering technique fail to provide any of the following: [more]
