Abstract

We propose a new Data Center Network (DCN) architecture, based on the principles of Information-Centric Networking (ICN). Our Info-Centric Data Center Network (IC-DCN) addresses many of the pain-points in current DCNs, such as network scalability, host mobility, etc. At the same time, IC-DCN introduces a number of new features to the current information-centric network architectures. We achieve this goal by decoupling the control-plane and data-plane functionalities. The control-plane is implemented in a centralized manner, while the data-plane is fully distributed. We show that IC-DCN effectively addresses many of the ICN challenges in the data center, such as routing scalability, full network utilization, and name space management.

Recommendations

On energy consumption of switch-centric data center networks

Data center network (DCN) is the core of cloud computing and accounts for 40% energy spend when compared to cooling system, power distribution and conversion of the whole data center (DC) facility. It is essential to reduce the energy consumption of DCN ...
Greening data center networks with throughput-guaranteed power-aware routing

Cloud based applications and services require high performance and strong reliability provided by data center networks. To overcome the problem of traditional tree based data center network, recently many new network architectures are proposed, such as ...
Designing efficient high performance server-centric data center network architecture

Data center network (DCN) architecture is regarded as one of the most important determinants of network performance. As the most typical representatives of DCN architecture designs, the server-centric scheme stands out due to its good performance in ...
