Abstract:
This document describes a middle box to improve the utilization of
data centers. By first combining Clos network with Software Defined
Network (SDN), the middle box is programmable and nonblocking. SDN
controller in the middle box can collect information such as traffic
load, port speed, and resources utilization, which can be used to
get better efficiency. The nonblocking feature can effectively
reduce the delay caused by the middle box thus get the better
performance. Furthermore, the middle box is transparent for the
original network, so it can be readily implemented for today's data
centers.
