Abstract

Much of today’s traffic flows between datacenters over private networks. The operators of those networks have access to detailed traffic profiles with performance goals that need to be met as efficiently as possible, e.g., realizing latency guarantees with minimal network bandwidth. Of particular interest is the extent to which traffic (re)shaping can be of benefit. The paper focuses on the most basic network configuration, namely, a single link network, with extensions to more general, multi-node networks discussed in a companion paper. The main results are in the form of optimal solutions for different types of schedulers of varying complexity. They demonstrate how judicious traffic shaping can help lower complexity schedulers perform nearly as well as more complex ones.
