Title : Improving Scalability of Switching Systems in Large Data Centers Authors : Ming Zhang Shyam Kapadia Liqin Dong Filename : draft-zhang-6man-scale-large-datacenter-00.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2015-03-09 Abstract: Server virtualization has been overwhelmingly accepted especially in cloud-based data centers. Accompanied with expansion of services and technology advancements, the size of a data center has increased significantly. There could be hundreds or thousands of physical servers installed in a single large data center which implies that the number of Virtual Machines (VMs) could be in the order of millions. Effectively supporting millions of VMs with limited hardware resources, becomes a real challenge to networking vendors. This document describes a method to scale a switching system with limited hardware resources using IPv6 in large data center environments.
