Traffic Matrix Clause Samples

Traffic Matrix. Both the data centre environment and the applications deployed in the data centre have significant impact on the network design [32][33]. Studies analysing traffic in today’s data centres show that 80% of the traffic stays within the rack, while for the intra-rack traffic the matrix is quite sparse, i.e., even the hot ToRs end up exchanging much of their data only with few other ToRs. While highly relevant for designing today’s DCNs, this data does not necessarily project on the traffic generated by future data centre applications. Moreover, most of the data available today is collected for traditional tree- based DCN topologies and can lose its relevance for novel DCN designs. Therefore, generating new data for the proposed topologies and benchmarks is an important part of the work to be done in COSIGN.
