The joint management of IT and network resources is a key aspect for dynamic inter-data center interconnection networks designed to work according to the cloud computing paradigm. Such a scenario calls for the anycast routing of service requests to find a data channel that best suits both connectivity and IT resource requirements. This paper presents different network resource allocation and release policies across an inter-data center interconnection network aimed at a balanced accommodation of network resources to improve performance. Such policies are evaluated and compared in terms of service set-up blocking probability considering also configuration latency of real network devices that play a significant role along with network bandwidth availability across the network. Results show that the best choice is to release network resources as soon as possible, even though this means increasing the service blocking due to network reconfiguration latency.

Abstract
The joint management of IT and network resources is a key aspect for dynamic inter-data center interconnection networks designed to work according to the cloud computing paradigm. Such a scenario calls for the anycast routing of service requests to find a data channel that best suits both connectivity and IT resource requirements. This paper presents different network resource allocation and release policies across an inter-data center interconnection network aimed at a balanced accommodation of network resources to improve performance. Such policies are evaluated and compared in terms of service set-up blocking probability considering also configuration latency of real network devices that play a significant role along with network bandwidth availability across the network. Results show that the best choice is to release network resources as soon as possible, even though this means increasing the service blocking due to network reconfiguration latency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
