| description | Large-scale data centers are major infrastructures in the big data era. Therefore, a stable and optimized architecture is required for data center networks (DCNs) to provide services to the applications. Many studies use software-defined network (SDN)-based multipath TCP (MPTCP) implementation to utilize the entire DCN's performance and achieve good results. However, the deployment cost is high. In SDN-based MPTCP solutions, the flow allocation mechanism leads to a large number of forwarding rules, which may lead to storage consumption. Considering the advantages and limitations of the SDN-based MPTCP solution, we aim to reduce the deployment cost due to the use of an extremely expensive storage resource-ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). We combine MPTCP and segment routing (SR) for traffic management to limit the storage requirements. And to the best of our knowledge, we are among the first to use the collaboration of MPTCP and SR in multi-rooted DCN topologies. To explain how MPTCP and SR work together, we use four-layer DCN architecture for better description, which contains physical topology, SR over the topology, multiple path selection supplied by MPTCP, and traffic scheduling on the selected paths. Finally, we implement the proposed design in a simulated SDN-based DCN environment. The simulation results reveal the great benefits of such a collaborative approach. |
