16 results about "Fat tree" patented technology

The fat tree network is a universal network for provably efficient communication. It was invented by Charles E. Leiserson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985. In a tree data structure, every branch has the same thickness, regardless of their place in the hierarchy—they are all "skinny" (skinny in this context means low-bandwidth). In a fat tree, branches nearer the top of the hierarchy are "fatter" (thicker) than branches further down the hierarchy. In a telecommunications network, the branches are data links; the varied thickness (bandwidth) of the data links allows for more efficient and technology-specific use.

A fat-tree edge lightpath adaptive add-drop optimization method based on deep reinforcement learning

This invention discloses an adaptive optimization method for edge optical links in a data center based on deep reinforcement learning. Using a fixed fat-tree electrical switching plane as the underlying architecture, it achieves adaptive addition and deletion of direct optical links between edge switches through topology control (DQN) and optical path switching. The DQN and packet-by-packet routing (DQN) form a two-layer collaborative decision-making structure. This invention models the optical link addition / deletion decision as a constrained Markov decision process, employing a dynamic candidate set mechanism to construct a low-dimensional state and action space, significantly reducing model computational complexity and training overhead. Compared to a pure electrical fat-tree architecture, the provided dynamic candidate set DQN scheme effectively reduces average on-network latency, packet rejection rate, and maximum queue length under high-load scenarios. Under the same link resource constraints, the dynamic candidate set scheme outperforms the all-optical link pair scheme, exhibiting higher training efficiency, decision stability, and network scalability. This invention can adaptively sense traffic distribution and schedule optical link resources on demand, making it suitable for real-time control and performance optimization scenarios in high-dynamic and high-throughput hybrid optoelectronic data center network topologies.

A method for tracking a physical path of a data packet in a data center network

The present invention discloses a method for tracing the physical path of data packets in a data center network with a fat-tree topology, which includes the following steps: Step 1) Assign specific tags to each switch node and Pod in the data center network, and perform specific configurations on the server node IPs; Step 2) Based on the assigned tags, deploy certain flow table entries to each switch node in the data center network to implement functions such as pushing tags into the packet header space; Step 3) When the data packet passes through the switch node, the switch performs corresponding operations based on the flow table matching entry of the data packet; at the client or server side, the final path information sequence in the packet header is split and parsed to restore the complete path of the data packet in the data center network. This method can effectively reduce the number of switch flow table entries and the packet header space, and completely restore the physical path of the data packet in the network, and can be used for functions such as quickly measuring the network traffic matrix and monitoring and locating network anomalies.

Traffic forwarding method and communication system based on fat-tree data center network topology structure

The application discloses a fat-tree data center network topology-based traffic forwarding method and a communication system. Main steps of the traffic forwarding method are as follows: when a source access layer switch receives target traffic sent by a source terminal device, the source access layer switch confirms a target terminal device and an access layer switch group corresponding to the target traffic, and judges whether the source access layer switch and a target access layer switch are the same access layer switch; if not, the source access layer switch confirms a size of the target traffic, and judges whether the target traffic is a large flow; if the target traffic is a large flow, the source access layer switch searches a target large flow fixed path corresponding to the access layer switch group in a preconfigured large flow fixed path static mapping table, and configures the target large flow fixed path as a dedicated forwarding path of the target traffic; otherwise, the source access layer switch sprays data packets of the target traffic to an equal shortest path which is not occupied by a large flow, so that large flow forwarding of the data center is reasonably controlled, and real-time performance of small flow forwarding is guaranteed.
