Evaluating Modern Data Centre Transport Protocols in OMNeT++/INET

10 pages•Published: December 10, 2019

Abstract

In this paper we present our work towards an evaluation platform for data centre transport protocols. We developed a simulation model for NDP1, a modern data transport protocol in data centres, a FatTree network topology and per-packet ECMP load balancing. We also developed a data centre environment that can be used to evaluate and compare data transport protocols, usch as NDP and TCP. We describe how we integrated our model with the INET Framework and present example simulations to showcase the workings of the developed framework. For that, we ran a comprehensive set of experiments and studied different components and parameters of the developed models.

Keyphrases: data centre networks, data transport protocols, ndp modelling, ndp protocol
