Abstract:

As an important information infrastructure, data center network (DCN) supports numerous distributed applications, such as artificial intelligence training and cloud storage.These applications require the transmission of large amounts of data, and as a result, the demand for performance stability of DCN has been increasing.The performance guarantee of DCN has gained widespread attention from both academia and industry in recent years.Firstly, the main challenges of implementing performance guarantees in DCN were analyzed, and the research directions to improve performance stability were proposed.Secondly, three essential capabilities for a performance-guaranteed DCN were summarized, such as high availability, bandwidth guarantee, and bounded latency.The comparative analysis of the relevant research was provided from multiple perspectives.In the end, the future development trend of the research on the performance guarantee of DCN was looked forward to.

Key words: data center network, performance guarantee, bandwidth guarantee, high availability
