The Internet has led to the creation of a digital society, where (almost) everything is
connected and is accessible from anywhere. However, despite their widespread adoption …

The idea of programmable networks has recently re-gained considerable momentum due to
the emergence of the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm. SDN, often referred to …

When bottleneck buffers are large, loss-based congestion control keeps them full, causing
bufferbloat. When bottleneck buffers are small, loss-based congestion control misinterprets …

Emerging mega-trends (eg, mobile, social, cloud, and big data) in information and
communication technologies (ICT) are commanding new challenges to future Internet, for …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) has recently emerged to become one of the promising
solutions for the future Internet. With the logical centralization of controllers and a global …

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an exciting technology that enables innovation in
how we design and manage networks. Although this technology seems to have appeared …

As computation continues to move into the cloud, the computing platform of interest no
longer resembles a pizza box or a refrigerator, but a warehouse full of computers. These …

We present SWAN, a system that boosts the utilization of inter-datacenter networks by
centrally controlling when and how much traffic each service sends and frequently re …

We present our approach for overcoming the cost, operational complexity, and limited scale
endemic to datacenter networks a decade ago. Three themes unify the five generations of …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of CONGA, a network-based
distributed congestion-aware load balancing mechanism for datacenters. CONGA exploits …
