In this paper, a data-center network (DCN) system that distinguishes Hadoop job types and allocates optical/electrical circuits to data flows depending on the types automatically is proposed. The proposed system calculates the predicted shuffle value (PSV) of the Hadoop job and determines which type of flow is allocated by comparing the PSV and the threshold value. The PSV can be calculated from a...
We describe low end-to-end latencies of 6.69 ms in the 5G CHARISMA network, that has been optimised for both device and system technologies speed, as well as with its virtualised, hierarchical and distributed, edge-centric architecture, that processes data as near as possible to their source and destination. Such an ultra-high speed 5G network can be utilised in intelligent transport system (ITS)...
Commodity HardWare (CHW) is currently used in the Internet to deploy large data centers or small computing nodes. Moreover, CHW will be also used to deploy future telecommunication networks, thanks to the adoption of the forthcoming network softwarization paradigm. In this context, CHW machines can be put in Active Mode (AM) or in Sleep Mode (SM) several times per day, based on the traffic requirements...
Promising far-reaching benefits that will pervade healthcare, industrial automation, autonomous driving, smart grid, and edutainment, the Tactile Internet is envisaged to improve our everyday life. Described as a communications infrastructure that facilitates real-time human-machine interaction through visual, audio, and tactile feedback, anytime and anywhere, its realization hinges upon achieving...
In this paper, we describe some scenarios and technologies that have been proposed to cope with the requirements of current and next generation data centre infrastructure. In particular, we discuss the extensions that have been implemented at both orchestration and control levels to efficiently manage the data centres resources. We put the focus on the integration between the Orchestrator and the...
The telecom infrastructure is undergoing a huge transformation since operators are deploying their own cloud infrastructure to provide cloud services and enabling Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The resulting infrastructure is referred to as the telecom cloud. NFV decouples network functions from proprietary hardware appliances, so they can be implemented in software and deployed on virtual...
Due to the variability of network topologies and services that can be deployed in the transport network, traffic engineering decisions within a software defined networking (SDN) controller need to be influenced by the current network topology, available resources, and end user experience. In this work a holistically approached traffic engineering quality of experience (QoE) feedback application is...
Passive Optical Networks (PONs) with their proven performance in access networks can provide solutions to the challenges facing modern data centres. In this paper, we study a PON architecture where Arrayed Waveguide Grating Routers (AWGRs) and servers are used to route traffic. We optimize the wavelength routing and assignment in the design and show through a benchmark study that the PON data centre...
We introduce physical-layer network coding for a passive optical interconnect architecture in datacenter networks. Results reveal that half of the wavelengths can be saved to obtain latency in the magnitude of microseconds.
This paper aims to quantitatively measure the impact of different data centers networking topologies on the performance and energy efficiency of shuffling operations in MapReduce. Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models are utilized to optimize the shuffling in several data center topologies with electronic, hybrid, and all-optical switching while maximizing the throughput and reducing the...
In flexible functional split, functions of a virtualized evolved NodeB (eNB) can be disaggregated in distributed computational resources. One of the main constraints for their placement is the latency experienced by the communication between the Virtual Machines (VM) hosting the functions. This paper evaluates experimentally the latency limits for different functional splits providing insights on...
Optical interconnection provisioning in Data Center (DC) draws lots of interests thanks to its high bandwidth and power efficiency. Optical TDM connection is an alternative solution to enable port sharing but with guaranteed bandwidth. At the same time, since the throughput of traffic in DC is fluctuating through time, it is quite critical to adjust the TDM slot allocation dynamically according to...
5G services and 4K will stress even more the future access/aggregation networks, where video contents have already become the main traffic contributor. The deployment in the convergent access of local micro data-centers (DCs) nodes is one promising approach to successfully manage this challenge. These nodes will be responsible for switching enormous amounts of traffic and simultaneously performing...
Scaling the capacity while maintaining low latency and power consumption is a challenge for hierarchical data center networks (DCNs) based on electrical switches. In this work we present a novel optical DCN architecture called OPSquare that potentially addresses the scaling issues by employing parallel intra- and inter-cluster switching networks based on distributed fast WDM optical cross-connect...
