Precise Measure

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.

The Impact

AbstractModern data center networks typically adopt multi-rooted tree topologies such leaf-spine and fat-tree to provide high bisection bandwidth. Load balancing is critical to achieve low latency and high throughput. Although the per-packet schemes such as Random Packet Spraying (RPS) can achieve high network utilization and near-optimal tail latency in symmetric topologies, they are prone to cause significant packet reordering and degrade the network performance. Moreover, some coding-based schemes are proposed to alleviate the problem of packet reordering and loss. Unfortunately, these schemes ignore the traffic characteristics of data center network and cannot achieve good network performance. In this paper, we propose a Heterogeneous Traffic-aware Partition Coding named HTPC to eliminate the impact of packet reordering and improve the performance of short and long flows. HTPC smoothly adjusts the number of redundant packets based on the multi-path congestion information and the traffic characteristics so that the tailing probability of short flows and the timeout probability of long flows can be reduced. Through a series of large-scale NS2 simulations, we demonstrate that HTPC reduces average flow completion time by up to 60% compared with the state-of-the-art mechanisms.

Data Process

Recently, with the increase in network bandwidth, various cloud computing applications have become popular. A large number of network data packets will be generated in such a network. However, most existing network architectures cannot effectively handle big data, thereby necessitating an efficient mechanism to reduce task completion time when large amounts of data are processed in data center networks. Unfortunately, achieving the minimum task completion time in the Hadoop system is an NP-complete problem. Although many studies have proposed schemes for improving network performance, they have shortcomings that degrade their performance. For this reason, in this study, we propose a centralized solution, called the bandwidth-aware rescheduling (BARE) mechanism for software-defined network (SDN)-based data center networks. BARE improves network performance by employing a prefetching mechanism and a centralized network monitor to collect global information, sorting out the locality data process, splitting tasks, and executing a rescheduling mechanism with a scheduler to reduce task completion time. Finally, we used simulations to demonstrate our scheme’s effectiveness. Simulation results show that our scheme outperforms other existing schemes in terms of task completion time and the ratio of data locality.
