A Construction Method of Hybrid Wireless Link Topology VDCell

Abstract

Abstract With the development of cloud computing, the data center network is undergoing great changes. The traditional wired data center network needs a large number of wired links, so it takes huge resources to deploy. For the wireless data center network, although the line installation is simple and the maintenance cost is reduced, the wireless transmission signal is easily blocked. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid data center network VDCell based on VLC link, and designs a rule to connect wireless links. Compared with the original DCell topology, it has the following advantages: First of all, the VLC link can be directly installed and used, without centralized control in VDCell, so no additional equipment is needed. Secondly, it is only necessary to add wireless links to the original structure, and the design rules are used to construct the structure, which shortens the communication path length between servers and is very simple to deploy. The increase of data links makes the structure more fault-tolerant. In addition, this paper also proposes a unicast routing algorithm.
