In SDN, a switch commonly uses ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) to store rules for fast flow table lookup. However, due to the limited TCAM entries, rule replacement will occur frequently when traffic load in data centers is heavy. This issue will be more serious when flow characteristics in data centers are diverse. Although wireless transmissions can benefit for reducing TCAM usage, we observe that routing and forwarding designs without considering the flow characteristics will result in rule replacement storm in switches and significantly harm the SDN scalability for wireless data centers. As a result, switches will issue massive flow setup requests which cannot be processed by an SDN controller in real time. This paper studies the SDN scalability problem with the objective of minimizing the number of flow setup requests under the hybrid architecture with wired and wireless links. We propose a routing and forwarding algorithm with the consideration of flow characteristics to tackle the problem. A series of simulation results agrees our observations and shows that our algorithm outperforms two well-known solutions for wired data centers and three approaches for wireless data centers. The results also provide useful insights and guidelines for designing SDN-based wireless data centers. ? 2004-2012 IEEE. |
