WMGR: A Generic and Compact Routing Scheme for Data Center Networks

Data center networks (DCNs) connect hundreds and thousands of computers and, as a result of the exponential growth in their number of nodes, the design of scalable (compact) routing schemes plays a pivotal role in the optimal operation of the DCN. Traditional trends in the design of DCN architecture...

Traditional trends in the design of DCN architectures have led to solutions, where routing schemes and network topologies are interdependent, i.e., specialized routing schemes.

We prove that the memory space requirements in nodes and the forwarding decision time grow sub-linearly (with respect to n, the number of nodes) in all of these topologies.
