Abstract :
Current data centers often employ SDNs (Software-Defined Networks) that are layered in most cases. However, information overwhelming has been a limitation to SDN deployment. We present a management model for data center networks. In this approach, regional networks on lower layers will be aggregated and viewed as single switches to upper layers. Management information will be divided into three parts, which can be seen by network managers, regional controllers and tenants, respectively.
