Abstract
Towards Efficient, Work-Conserving, and Fair Bandwidth Guarantee in Cloud Datacenters
Highlights
Cloud computing has become an emerging computing paradigm that can efficiently, scalably, and flexibly provide computing resources to tenants
WORK In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that exploits multipath TCP (MPTCP) to achieve efficient, fair, and work-conserving bandwidth guarantee in cloud datacenters
Work conservation is efficiently supported since the work conservation (WC) traffic can take idled bandwidth timely and efficiently without deteriorating bandwidth guarantees
Summary
Cloud computing has become an emerging computing paradigm that can efficiently, scalably, and flexibly provide computing resources to tenants. It does not modify current cloud software stack nor need any hardware support that is not available in current commodities It can be built with three -implementable techniques: MPTCP, priority queues on switches, and rate control on hosts. When a user chooses to not use MPTCP, they just cannot enjoy the benefit of work conservation enabled by our system They can even use a different WC scheme that achieves WC by dynamically adjusting bandwidth guarantee upon congestion monitoring, e.g., ElasticSwitch [13]. The work conservation traffic in our scheme cannot hurt the bandwidth guarantee because of the low priority. The contributions of this paper include: 1) We novelly exploit MPTCP to provide transparent work conservation upon rate-limiting based bandwidth guarantee in cloud datacenters.
