This book provides a comprehensive reference in large data center
networking. It first summarizes the developing trend of DCNs, and
reports four novel DCNs, including a switch-centric DCN, a modular DCN,
a wireless DCN, and a hybrid DCN. Furthermore another important factor
in DCN targets at managing and optimizing the network activity at the
level of transfers to aggregate correlated data flows and thus directly
to lower down the network traffic resulting from such data transfers. In
particular, the book reports the in-network aggregation of incast
transfer, shuffle transfer, uncertain incast transfer, and the
cooperative scheduling of uncertain multicast transfer.
