Zhanwei Wu, Xilin Ji, Ying Wang, Xingyu Chen, Yibin Cai · 2018
Considering the energy-saving routing problem in data center network which employed SDN paradigm, a novel energy-aware routing approach was proposed. The approach added constraint of control traffic in traditional energy-saving routing problem statement. In addition, we proposed a heuristic algorithm using dynamic weight to compute the energy-aware routing path. At last, the approach is assessed by simulation experiments under realistic topologies and demands.
