...Note that we do not have the physical topologies from the cloud data centers, although the operators of these data centers tell us that these networks uniformly employ the 3-Tier textbook data center architectures described in [11]....

...There is tremendous interest in designing improved networks for data centers [1, 2, 22, 13, 16, 11, 4, 18, 29, 14, 21]; however, such work and its evaluation is driven by only a few studies of data center traffic, and those studies are solely of huge (> 10K server) data centers, primarily running data mining, MapReduce jobs, or Web services....

...Some have regular patterns that could be leveraged for traffic engineering strategies like Valiant Load Balancing [11], while most would require either a significant upgrade or more general strategies....

...Several proposals [1, 22, 11, 2] for new data center network architectures attempt to maximize the network bisection bandwidth....

...To achieve this goal we are in the process of moving towards our next generation data center networking architecture [10], which flattens the data center networking topology and provides full bisection bandwidth between compute and storage....

...Using traffic patterns obtained in measurement study [6], [11], [12], [7], we will take this problem formulation (5) to study joint VM placement and routing for symmetric network architectures in [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]....
