Abstract The routing mechanism in Data Center networks can affect network performance and latency significantly. Hash-based method, such as ECMP (Equal-Cost
Multi-Path), has been widely used in Data Center networks to fulfill the requirement of load balance. However, ECMP statically maps one flow to a path
by a hash method, which results in some paths overloaded while others remain underutilized. Some dynamic flow scheduling schemes choose the most
underutilized link as the next hop to better utilize the network bandwidth, while these schemes lacks of utilizing the global state of the network. To achieve
high bandwidth… More >
