This unique compendium focuses on the design and implementation of emerging transport protocols and task scheduling mechanisms to mitigate congestion in datacentre networks. Datacenters have become a critical infrastructure for hosting user-facing online services such as web search and social networking.For datacenter transport, this volume highlights the design and implementation details of the state-of-art transport protocols that not only achieves optimal performance in terms of minimizing flow completion times but are also deployment friendly.Moreover, this must-have reference material also discusses the transport protocols for multi-tenant datacentre networks. For datacenter task scheduling, the book introduces an innovative task placement framework that considers network scheduling while making task placement decisions.
