Cooperative Redundancy Elimination in Data Center Networks with Wireless Cards at Routers

We consider architecture of data center networks (DCN), which adds wireless network card to each router [1 -- 3]. Existing redundancy elimination (RE) mechanisms reduce link loads and increase network capacity in several environments by removing strings that have appeared in earlier packets through encoding and decode them several hops downstream. This article is the first to explore RE mechanisms in large-scale DCNs, and the first to exploit...
