Pricing Intra-Datacenter Networks with Over-Committed Bandwidth Guarantee
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current IaaS clouds provide performance guarantee on CPU and memory but no quantitative network performance for VM instances. Our measurements from three production IaaS clouds show that for the VMs with same CPU and memory, or similar pricing, the difference in bandwidth performance can be as much as 16×, which reveals a severe price-performance anomaly due to a lack of pricing for bandwidth guarantee. Considering the low network utilization in cloud-scale datacenters, we address this by presenting SoftBW, a system that enables pricing bandwidth with over commitment on bandwidth guarantee. SoftBW leverages usage-based charging to guarantee price-performance consistency among tenants, and implements a fulfillment based scheduling to provide bandwidth/fairness guarantee under bandwidth over commitment. Both testbed experiments and large-scale simulation results validate SoftBW’s ability of providing efficient bandwidth guarantee, and show that by using bandwidth over commitment, SoftBW increases 3.9× network utilization while incurring less than 5% guarantee failure.

Data center networks are considered to make use of the computing and storage resources in data centers, which include intra-datacenter and inter-datacenter networks. Both of them will depend on the optical networking due to its advantages, such as low latency, high bandwidth, and low energy consumption. Data center interconnected by flexi-grid optical networks is a promising scenario to allocat...
متن کاملCicada: Introducing Predictive Guarantees for Cloud Networks
In cloud-computing systems, network-bandwidth guarantees have been shown to improve predictability of application performance and cost [1, 28]. Most previous work on cloud-bandwidth guarantees has assumed that cloud tenants know what bandwidth guarantees they want [1, 17]. However, as we show in this work, application bandwidth demands can be complex and time-varying, and many tenants might lac...
