Many data center network DCN applications require explicit routing path control over the underlying topologies. In this paper, we present XPath, a simple, practical and readily-deployable way to implement explicit path control, using existing commodity switches. At its core, XPath explicitly identifies an end-to-end path with a path ID and leverages a two-step compression algorithm to pre-install all the desired paths into IP TCAM tables of commodity switches. Our evaluation and implementation show that XPath scales to large DCNs and is readily-deployable. Furthermore, on our testbed, we integrate XPath into four applications to showcase its utility. |
