HPC networks may include four-way or eightway Equal Cost Multi-Pathing (ECMP), and distributed forwarding based on both Layer 3 and Layer 4 port hashing. 5 Cloud data center architectures Cloud computing is a method for delivering computing services from a large, highly virtualized data center to many independent end users, using shared applications and pooled resources. While there are many different definitions for cloud computing [2,3,24], it is typically distinguished by the following attributes: OnDemand Self-Service, Broad Network Access, Resource Pooling, Rapid and Elastic Resource Provisioning, and Metered Service at Various Quality Levels.

The control plane is distributed, and smaller isolated domains may be created. There are also some tradeoffs when using a Layer 3 ECMP design. The native Layer 2 domains are relatively small, which limits the ability to perform live VM migrations from any server to any other server. Each individual domain must be managed as a separate entity. Such designs can be fairly complex, requiring expertise in IP routing to set up and manage the network, and presenting complications with multicast domains.

For example, a dynamic infrastructure would consist of highly utilized servers running many VMs per server, using high bandwidth links to communicate with virtual storage and virtual networks, both within and across multiple data centers. The accelerating pace of innovation in this area has also led to many new proposals for next generation data centers to be implemented within the next decade. An agile data center architecture should ideally enable users to treat computing, storage, and network resources as fully fungible pools that can be dynamically and rapidly partitioned.
