DROAD: Demand-aware reconfigurable optically-switched agile data center network

We present a Demand-aware Reconfigurable Data Center Network architecture design (DROAD) with integrated fast-switching optics and space switches that allows dynamic reconfiguration and separation of intra- and inter-cluster connections. The performance analysis results show a 64% improvement in average Flow Completion Time and a significant reduction in TCP session time, as well as a reduced number of sessions needed to be opened compared to traditional electrically-switched leaf-spine networks.
