- BCube: A High Performance, Server-Centric Network Architecture for Modular Data Centers
- This paper presents BCube, a new network architecture specifically designed for shipping-container based, modular data centers. At the core of the BCube architecture is its server-centric network structure, where servers with multiple network ports connect to multiple layers of COTS (commodity o-the-shelf) mini-switches. Servers act as not only end hosts,...

- Towards an Active Network Architecture
- Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which one is most interested, replaces packets with "Capsules" - program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit a massive increase in the sophistication of...
