| Abstract | OpenFlow networks require installation of flow rules in a limited capacity switch memory (Ternary Content Addressable Memory or TCAMs, in particular) from a logically centralized controller. A controller can manage the switch memory in an OpenFlow network through events that are generated by the switch at discrete time intervals. Recent studies have shown that data centers can have up to 10,000 network flows per second per server rack today. Increasing the TCAM size to accommodate these large number of flow rules is not a viable solution since TCAM is costly and power hungry. Current OpenFlow controllers handle this issue by installing flow rules with a default idle timeout after which the switch automatically evicts the rule from its TCAM. This results in inefficient usage of switch memory for short lived flows when the timeout is too high and in increased controller workload for frequent flows when the timeout is too low. In this context, we present SmartTime - an OpenFlow controller system that combines an adaptive timeout heuristic to compute efficient idle timeouts with proactive eviction of flow rules, which results in effective utilization of TCAM space while ensuring that TCAM misses (or controller load) does not increase. To the best of our knowledge, SmartTime is the first real implementation of an intelligent flow management strategy in an OpenFlow controller that can be deployed in current OpenFlow networks. In our experiments using multiple real data center packet traces and cache sizes, SmartTime adaptive policy consistently outperformed the best performing static idle timeout policy or random eviction policy by up to 58% in terms of total cost. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
