Data Center and Cloud Networking

This group gathers pioneers of computer networking whose primary contribution was the networking infrastructure behind large-scale computing facilities, including data center network design, content delivery networks and web caching, load balancing, virtualization and software-defined networking. Their shared work is the network fabric that connects many machines inside and between data centers to serve traffic at scale, as distinct from the end-to-end Internet protocols of Internet Protocols and Routing or the wireless last-mile link of Wireless and Mobile Networking.
