Abstract
With the profound revolution in the data center industry and the increasing size of data center networks (DCNs), researchers have been focusing on achieving efficient and fast transport of traffic within the data center. In addition, the number of devices equipped with multiple interfaces is increasing, which allows multiple paths to be used simultaneously. Multipath transmission mechanisms can significantly improve the performance of data transmission in DCNs. However, some issues remain when MPTCP is deployed in DCNs. We have investigated multipath transport mechanisms in data center networks. First, the Multipath TCP (MPTCP) protocol is briefly described. Then, a study of routing algorithms, congestion control, and energy-saving techniques for applying MPTCP in DCNs are summarized separately. Finally, we propose the future direction of the multipath transmission mechanism in DCNs.
