Abstract
Hybrid optical/electrical datacenter network (HOE-DCN) uses the inter-rack networks that consist of both electrical Ethernet switches and optical cross-connects (OXCs), for better cost-efficiency and scalability. Meanwhile, to provision dynamic network services well, the operator of an HOE-DCN needs to deploy virtual networks (VNTs) and remap them adaptively. Therefore, this work studies the problem of VNT remapping in an HOE-DCN from a novel perspective, i.e., the remapping schemes should be optimized for not only the network status after the remapping but also the transition to realize it. Specifically, we model this problem as a bilevel optimization, where the upper-level optimization aims at selecting proper virtual machines (VMs) to migrate such that the estimated latency of VM migration can be minimized, and the lower-level optimization determines the actual scheme of VNT remapping for minimizing the number of resource hot-spots. We first formulate a bilevel mixed integer linear programming (BMILP) model for the bilevel optimization, and then propose a polynomial time algorithm based on enumeration to solve it approximately. Extensive simulations verify the effectiveness of our proposal.
