An Efficient Traffic Management Solution in Data Center Networking Using SDN

Abstract

In today’s big data era, large scale data centers are the major infrastructure. One goal of doing research and work in the field of DCNs is to satisfy network transmission demands, increase responsiveness and throughput simultaneously. Hence, for required stable and optimized architecture an implementation based on software-defined network (SDN) is used to utilize the data center network (DCN) performance. The problem of traffic engineering is observed in the field of routing and load balancing based on traditional networks in data centers. The load balancing is a complex task due to variety in data flows. Thus various solutions have been employed in this field for better results. Load balancing shows its use in the presence of heavy flow generated during peak intervals or other occasions that ultimately results in congestion of the network and performance degradation. This paper proposed the collaboration of online routing method with multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) and segment routing (SR) in software defined network for batter results in DCN.
