Efficient inter-datacenter bulk transfers with mixed completion time objectives

QuickCast: Fast and Efficient Inter-Datacenter Transfers using Forwarding Tree Cohorts

Large inter-datacenter transfers are crucial for cloud service efficiency and are increasingly used by organizations that have dedicated wide area networks between datacenters. A recent work uses multicast forwarding trees to reduce the bandwidth needs and improve completion times of point-tomultipoint transfers. Using a single forwarding tree per transfer, however, leads to poor performance be...

Evaluating project’s completion time with Q-learning

Nowadays project management is a key component in introductory operations management. The educators and the researchers in these areas advocate representing a project as a network and applying the solution approaches for network models to them to assist project managers to monitor their completion. In this paper, we evaluated project’s completion time utilizing the Q-learning algorithm. So the ...

Minimizing Flow Completion Times using Adaptive Routing over Inter-Datacenter Wide Area Networks

Inter-datacenter networks connect dozens of geographically dispersed datacenters and carry traffic flows with highly variable sizes and different classes. Adaptive flow routing can improve efficiency and performance by assigning paths to new flows according to network status and flow properties. A popular approach widely used for traffic engineering is based on current bandwidth utilization of ...
