Abstract(in English) Introduction of optical switching networks into Data Center networks (DCNs) attracts attention to reduce power consumption in Data Centers. We have proposed “HOLST” as a hybrid optical/electrical switching DCN architecture with optical TDM switching. In the “HOLST” architecture, an optical switching network is constructed with combining both MEMS and PLZT optical switches. To realize reducing power consumption in DCN, packet flow size detection method is required to classify flows into the electrical switching network, the optical TDM switching network, and the optical wavelength switching network. In addition, there are some requirements as the method of detecting flow size especially in DCN, such as high-speed detection for multi-characteristics of flows and overcoming traffic behavior e.g. mice flooding. In this paper, we will propose a flow classifying method using a hierarchical LRU (Least Recently Used) queues in a ToR (Top of Rack) switch. The proposed method takes in to account frequent flow arrival and traffic behavior in “HOLST”. We evaluate the accuracy of detecting flows and the effect of power reduction of the proposed method compared to conventional methods in DCN.
