Data Center Networking -- building connection fabrics for cloud computing infrastructure
As the IT industry enters the era of Cloud Computing, companies are building large data centers to host online services for our daily life. Data center networking (DCN) deals with how to connect millions of servers efficiently. Our group is among the first to make data-center networking a hot topic in research community.
Our pioneer work in DCN, on network architecture: DCell (SIGCOMM'08), BCube (SIGCOMM'09)
Network management: Address Configuration (SIGCOMM'10)
Virtualization: SecondNet (CoNEXT'10)
Congestion control: ICTCP (CoNEXT'10 - Best Paper), ECN* (CoNEXT'12)
Multicast and low-latency routing: Datacast (CoNEXT'12), RDB (CoNEXT'13)
