Abstract
We propose Kevin, a novel demand-aware reconfigurable rack-to-rack
datacenter network realized with a simple and efficient control plane.
In particular, Kevin makes effective use of the network capacity by
supporting integrated and multi-hop routing as well as work-conserving
scheduling. To this end, Kevin relies on local greedy routing with small
forwarding tables which require local updates only during topological
reconfigurations, making this approach ideal for dynamic networks.
Specifically, Kevin is based on a de Brujin topology (using a small
number of optical circuit switches) in which static links are enhanced
with opportunistic links.
