Although there is tremendous interest in designing improved networks for data centers, very little is known about the network-level traffic characteristics of current data centers...
Recently new data center topologies have been proposed that offer higher aggregate bandwidth and location independence by creating multiple paths in the core of the network. To ef...
Since the early days of networks, a basic principle has been that endpoints treat the network as a black box. An endpoint injects a packet with a destination address and the netwo...
