DATA CENTER
A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and
associated components, such as telecommunications and storage
systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies,
redundant data communications connections, environmental controls
(e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices.
Network Switch
A network switch is a computer networking device that links network
segments or network devices. The term commonly refers to a multiport network bridge that processes and routes data at the data link
layer of the OSI model.
Buffer in Network Switch
Static Memory Management in Data Center
 It has a central packet processing and classification engine.
 Each port is connected with individual static buffer.
Disadvantage
 In static buffer once the buffer is full, additional in coming packets will be dropped
 Large buffers in network switches can considerably add to the system cost,
operational complexity, resulting in less deterministic and impulsive application
performance.
Dynamic Memory Management in Data Center
 It has a centralized, fully sharable, dynamically allocated and adaptive
buffer.
Advantages
 It deliver s most favorable buffer utilization and burst absorption for data
center workloads.
 cost effective performance, which is suitable for modern data center
switches in cloud applications.
System Requirements
 64 x 10 Giga bit Ethernet switch device
 Fully Meshed Topology configuration
 Packets size is subjected from 64 to 1500 bytes
 Minimum Threshold and Maximum threshold
value are set as 20% and 80% queue buffer size.
 The 64 x10 port is replaced with 96x10 Giga bit
Ethernet and 32 x 40Gigabit Ethernet switch port
configurations and tested with the previous
conditions.
 Uniform random distribution across all ports with,
a loading factor of 80 % on all ports, and a target
frame loss rate of 0.1% is taken

Frame Loss with Static and Dynamic buffer
Frame loss occurs when one or more frame of data travelling across a
computer network fail to reach their destination.
This frame loss can be caused by a number of factors including signal
degradation over the network medium due to multi-path fading, packet
drop because of channel congestion , corrupted packets rejected in-transit,
faulty networking hardware, faulty network drivers or normal routing
routines
Burst Absorption with static and dynamic buffer
Burst size is an amount of data that may be transferred without being
affected by the other limitations
Conclusion
 A switch using static buffer allocation require up to
five times as much packet memory as a switch
using dynamic shared buffer pool .
 While using dynamic buffer the burst size
obtained is 3 to 6 times greater than the burst size
obtained using static buffer .
