摘要:
A method and system for providing a multi-level interconnection network is provided. A multi-level interconnection network comprises basic cells that are aggregated into higher level cells at each level of the network. At the first level, the basic cells are aggregated into first level cells. Each first level cell is an aggregation of a number of basic cells that is one more than the number of devices in a basic cell. The basic cells of a first level cell are fully connected; that is, each basic cell has a first level link or connection to each other basic cell. In a first level cell, each device of a basic cell has a first level link to each other basic cell. The multi-level interconnection network has higher level cells that are aggregations of lower level cells in a similar manner.

摘要:
A hybrid Butterfly Cube (“BCube”) architecture is described herein. The BCube architecture is a server-centric network architectural design, and includes a plurality of servers. Each of the plurality of servers may have multiple network ports and serve not only as an end host, but also an intermediate relay node for other servers. The BCube architecture further includes a plurality of switches which are arranged in multiple levels. Each switch has a certain number of network ports for connecting to the servers. The BCube architecture provides multiple parallel paths between any two servers. A packet source routing protocol and a BCube source routing (BSR) protocol are used to determine which path is used for routing a packet between any two servers.
摘要:
Large numbers of commodity servers in a data center may be inexpensively interconnected using low-cost commodity network switches, a first network port on each commodity server, a second network port on each commodity server, and a traffic-aware routing module executed on each commodity server. Connecting two or more commodity servers via the first network ports on each server to a commodity network switch forms a unit. Connecting two commodity servers in different units forms a group. Each unit has a direct connection via a second network port on a commodity server in the unit to another unit. Each group may have a direct connection via a second network port on a commodity server in the group to another group. Traffic-aware routing modules executed on each commodity server determine routing of data between servers and balance traffic across the first and second ports.
