Minimizing Flow Completion Times using Adaptive Routing over Inter-Datacenter Wide Area Networks

I Throughput-oriented flows deliver large volumes of data. I Less sensitive to propagation and initial routing latency. I Inter-datacenter networks managed by one organization allow for flexible application of custom routing techniques. I Focus on single path routing and aim to minimize completion times and bandwidth usage. I Adaptive flow routing according to network and flow properties. I Fast heuristic schemes use a cost (distance) metric and select the minimum cost (shortest) path.
