In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

Traffic engineering is an important mechanism for Internet network providers seeking to
optimize network performance and traffic delivery. Routing optimization plays a key role in …

We present a decade of evolution and production experience with Jupiter datacenter
network fabrics. In this period Jupiter has delivered 5x higher speed and capacity, 30 …

Creating impact in real-world settings requires artificial intelligence techniques to span the
full pipeline from data, to predictive models, to decisions. These components are typically …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of CONGA, a network-based
distributed congestion-aware load balancing mechanism for datacenters. CONGA exploits …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of B4, a private WAN connecting
Google's data centers across the planet. B4 has a number of unique characteristics: i) …

The effects of data center traffic characteristics on data center traffic engineering is not well
understood. In particular, it is unclear how existing traffic engineering techniques perform …

Combinatorial optimization assumes that all parameters of the optimization problem, eg the
weights in the objective function, are fixed. Often, these weights are mere estimates and …

Molecular interactions are essential for regulation of cellular processes from the formation of
multi-protein complexes to the allosteric activation of enzymes. Identifying the essential …

Dynamic load balancing is a popular recent technique that protects ISP networks from
sudden congestion caused by load spikes or link failures. Dynamic load balancing …
