Abstract:In this paper, we evaluate the performance of packet-based load balancing in data center networks (DCNs). Throughput and flow completion time are some of the main the metrics considered to evaluate the performance of the transport of flows over the presence of long flows in a DCN. Load balancing in a DCN may improve those metrics but it may also generate out-of-order packet forwarding. Therefore, we investigate the impact of outof-order packet delivery on the throughput and flow completion time of long and sho… Show more
