VL2: A Scalable and Flexible Data Center Network
- xtacy 16y agoThe evaluation section (in the blog) talks about "traditional data centre networks." What are they? Cisco has released a data centre network design that has been out for nearly 6 years now. The design outlined in the VL2 paper is similar. @those who operate DC networks: what does your topology look like? How do you handle oversubscription in a fair manner? If anyone here works at Amazon, could they shed light on fairness issues: can one VM blasting traffic using UDP hurt another that uses vanilla TCP?
- Nrsolis 16y agoIt looks like this guy just reimplemented the worst parts of ATM (directory lookups don't scale) without any of the good parts (predictable bandwidth guarantees).
