DC-T : Data Transfer between Data centers using Elastic Optical Fiber Considering Path failure

The DC-T algorithm is proposed to optimize inter-data center traffic in optical fiber networks, emphasizing survivability, fault tolerance, and efficiency. The primary objectives include minimizing the number of active data centers while maintaining network resiliency, dynamically selecting paths based on latency and failure probability, and recovering data through redundancy mechanisms such as erasure coding. By integrating the Minimization of Data Centers in Survivable Dynamic SDM-EONs technique, DC-T enhances resource utilization and ensures scalable performance across diverse network topologies. The algorithm is specifically designed to improve data transfer efficiency by dynamically rerouting traffic, reducing latency, and maximizing throughput. The proposed approach is evaluated across three major network infrastructures—COST239, NSFNET, and USNET—demonstrating its superiority over existing methodologies. Experimental results indicate that DC-T effectively balances network efficiency and fault tolerance, outperforming traditional techniques in ensuring seamless and resilient data transfer. This work contributes to the advancement of survivable optical data center networks by providing a cost-effective and adaptive solution to dynamic traffic management.
