Randomized trial evaluates bandwidth performance in data center networks, suggesting improvements are needed.

This research aims to address the inefficiencies in network architecture within large data centers.
Examines current network architectures in data centers
Analyzes aggregate bandwidth requirements and equipment costs
Identifies performance limitations in existing topologies
Current architectures support only 50% of the aggregate bandwidth at the network edge
High-end equipment leads to substantial costs without sufficient performance gains
Non-uniform bandwidth among nodes hinders application design and overall system performance

Al-Fares et al. (2008) studied this question.
