Abstract

To support the needs of ever-growing cloud-based services, the number of servers and network devices in data centers is increasing exponentially, which in turn results in high complexities and difficulties in network optimization. Machine learning (ML) provides an effective way to deal with these challenges by enabling network intelligence. To this end, numerous creative ML-based approaches have been put forward in recent years. Nevertheless, the intelligent optimization of data center networks (DCN) still faces enormous challenges. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of systematic and original investigations with in-depth analysis on intelligent DCN. To this end, in this paper, we investigate the application of ML to DCN optimization and provide a general overview and in-depth analysis of the recent works, covering flow prediction, flow classification, and resource management. Moreover, we also give unique insights into the technology evolution of the fusion of DCN and ML, together with some challenges and future research opportunities.
重新思考数据中心网络:机器学习实现网络智能
为了满足日益增长的云服务需求,数据中心的服务器和网络设备数量呈指数级增长,网络优化的复杂性和难度也随之增加。机器学习(ML)通过实现网络智能,为应对这些挑战提供了一种有效的方法。为此,近年来提出了许多创造性的基于ml的方法。然而,数据中心网络的智能优化仍然面临着巨大的挑战。就我们所知,目前还缺乏系统的、原创的、深入分析智能DCN的研究。为此,在本文中,我们研究了机器学习在DCN优化中的应用,并对最近的工作进行了总体概述和深入分析,包括流量预测,流量分类和资源管理。此外,我们还对DCN和ML融合的技术演变以及未来的挑战和研究机会提出了独特的见解。
