Responsive multipath TCP in SDN-based datacenters
Abstract
A basic need in datacenter networks is to provide high throughput for large flows such as the massive shuffle traffic flows in a MapReduce application. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has been investigated as an effective approach toward this goal, by spreading one TCP flow onto multiple paths. However, the current MPTCP implementation has two major limitations: (1) a fixed number of subflows are used without reacting to the actual traffic condition; (2) the routing of subflows of a multipath TCP connection relies heavily on the ECMP-based random hashing. The former may lead to a waste of both the server and network resources, while the latter can cause throughput degradation when multiple subflows collide on the same path. This paper proposes a responsive MPTCP system to resolve the two limitations simultaneously. Our system employs a centralized controller for intelligent subflow route calculation and a monitor running on each server for actively adjusting the number of subflows. Working in synergy, the two modules enable MPTCP flows to respond to the traffic conditions and pursue high throughput on the fly, at very low computation and messaging overhead. NS3-based experiments show that our system achieves satisfactory throughput with less resource overhead, or better throughput at similar amounts of overhead, as compared to common alternatives.

As stated by Duan et al. [227], the transfer of large data using MPTCP, especially multimedia traffic flows in SDN/NFV platforms, results in the number of forwarding rules on every switch to grow tremendously.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
