Abstract
Data centers constitute the foundations of cloud computing. Increased adoption of cloud computing in various sectors of life necessitates the data center growth. Cloud providers are facing numerous challenges in data centers design and operation. This chapter presents the modeling and simulation of the major data center network architectures using ns-3. The chapter details the three major DCN architectures and their implementation details.
