“…MPLS is typically used to encapsulate the labels, therefore achieving SR in legacy MPLS networks. Work in this area includes [10], [28]- [30], [33], [37], [38], [44] and [23]. • Address-based SR: Methods in this category use destination addresses to indicate routing.…”

“…Another set of work uses SR to perform traffic engineering with the objective of reducing the power consumption of the data center. [37], [29], [23] and [30] are similar works using label-based SR (with MPLS) to aggregate traffic and shut down unused links within data centers, therefore saving energy. The SDN controller specifies links to be decommissioned and the label-path mappings in the switch forwarding tables.…”

The trend toward cloudification of communication networks and services, with user data and applications stored and processed in data centers, pushes the limits of current Data Center Networks (DCNs), requiring improved scalability, resiliency, and performance. Here we consider a DCN forwarding approach based on software-defined addressing (SDA), which embeds semantics in the Medium Access Control (MAC) address and thereby enables new forwarding processes. This work presents Flow-Zone Switching (FZS), a loop-free location-based source-routing solution that eliminates the need for forwarding tables by embedding routing instructions and flow identifiers directly in the flow-zone software-defined address. FZS speeds the forwarding process, increasing the throughput and reducing the latency of QoSsensitive flows while reducing the capital and operational costs of switching. This paper presents details of FZS and a performance evaluation within a complete DCN.INDEX TERMS flow-zone switching (FZS), data center network (DCN), software-defined addressing (SDA), Layer 2, MAC address, routing, forwarding, QoS, Clos, stateless
