Today’s data centers host a variety of different applications that impose specific requirements for their flows. Applications that generate short flows are usually latency sensitive; they require their flows to be completed as fast as possible. Short flows suffer to quickly increase their sending rate due to the existing long flows occupying most of the available capacity. This problem is caused due to the slow convergence of the current data center transport protocols. In this paper, we present a buffer occupancy-based transport protocol (BOTCP) to reduce flow completion time of short flows. BOTCP consists of two parts: (i) A novel buffer occupancy-based congestion signal, and (ii) a congestion control scheme that uses the congestion signal to reduce flow completion time of short flows. The proposed buffer occupancy-based congestion signal gives a precise measure of congestion. The congestion control scheme makes a differentiated treatment of short and long flows to reduce flow completion time of short flows. The results show that BOTCP significantly improves flow completion time of short flows over the existing transport protocols in data center networks.

Nowadays data centers have been becoming increasingly important for various web applications, huge amount of cost is invested to maintain good performance of data center. Whereas some studies indicated that TCP Incast phenomenon was widely observed in most of data centers, which results in congestion in data centers and damages the performance of data center greatly. Thus some congestion control mechanisms for data center have been proposed to solve the problems. These mechanisms are categorized and described in this paper, and the advantages and disadvantages of these mechanisms are analyzed. Subsequently, some new interesting topics which may be worthy of further study in congestion control mechanism on data center are presented.
