| Abstract | Conventional Ethernet protocols struggle to meet the scalability and performance requirements of data centers. Viable replacements have been proposed for Data Center Ethernet (DCE): link-layer multipathing (MP) is deployed to replace Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and thus improves network throughput; end-to-end link-layer congestion control (CC) is proposed to better guarantee loss-free frame delivery for Ethernet. However, little work has been done to incorporate MP and CC to offer a more comprehensive solution for DCE. In this paper, we propose a two-tier solution by integrating our Dynamic Load Balancing MultiPath (DLBMP) scheme with CC. Instead of using two separate parameters, i.e. path load and buffer level, to trigger MP and CC, our solution only needs to monitor path load metric to manage MP and CC in an integrated way. Different from a pure CC mechanism, which generates notifications from network core, our integrated CC can make use of link load information in edge switches which directly inform sources to control traffic admission. To minimize overhead and accelerate update, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) techniques are employed in our implementation, which decouples routing intelligence from data transmission. Hence, data sources can react more rapidly to congestions and network can be guaranteed with loss-free delivery. In addition, our MP scheme is further improved by introducing application-layer flow differentiation. With such a fine flow differentiation (FFD) mechanism, traffic can be more evenly distributed along multipaths, resulting in better bandwidth utilization. Simulation results show that our combined solution can further improve network throughput with FFD mechanism and guarantee loss-free delivery with integrated CC. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
