An Integrated Approach for Optical Router Design for High-Speed Data Centers

Abstract

Abstract

Data centers are the core of the networking. The users connect to top of rack (ToR) switches by various network topologies. Depending on topology designs and applications running on data centers decide the traffic characteristics. Due to cloud computing environment in many data center switches distinctive varieties of applications runs. Thus, traffic characteristics vary on various data center switches. This paper discusses the random and bursty traffic model for data arrival on ToR switches and details of burst formation and its effect on burst assembly delay is discussed. Finally, the blocking performance of the ToR switches is measured in terms of the blocking performance under both random and bursty traffic conditions.

Keywords: Data center, bursty traffic conditions, cooling devices
