Data Center Networking at MSRA
In this project, we are working on several aspects of data center networking (DCN), including DCN architecture, DCN infrastructure consolidating, DCN measurement and management, DCN resource management and congestion control, traffic engineering and power control, and application and OS support in DCN.
