Abstract

DCNs offer rich connectivity and high bandwidth for applications. In this chapter we review the solutions to make better use of the network capacity, and enhance the performance of DCN. These solutions are proposed with a specific topology design in mind, yet they still offer useful inspiration for other topologies.
