Abstract
In order to make measurement-based placement, an optimiser
must make informed decisions. Currently, it is
difficult to assign routes or assign resource commitments
to network paths in data centers, as applications do not
declare what is carried within each flow. We propose to
provide insight into the traffic that traverses each network
link, realizing a near real-time map of a data center’s
network traffic. We present Omniscient, a system
that aims to increase the visibility into the data center
network traffic by computing link utilization broken
down by application instance using OpenFlow stats in
an SDN-enabled data center. The goal of the system is
to inform application instance placement and redundant
network path assignment in order to improve application
performance and resource utilization.
