Maltz<\/a>, Parveen Patel, Sudipta Sengupta<\/p>\n<p>This paper articulated the core design principles that have become the foundation for modern datacenter networks: scalable Clos topologies, randomized load-balanced routing, and virtual networks constructed by decoupling endpoint addresses and locations. By convincingly arguing for these principles, and providing one of the first glimpses into real-world datacenter network traffic characteristics, this paper has had enduring impact on both the practice of datacenter network design and the large body of research on the topic that has followed over the last decade.<\/p>\n<h3>Microsoft ACM & IEEE Awards<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/bahl\/\"><strong>Victor Bahl<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nDistinguished Scientist, Director Mobility & Networking Research<br \/>\nACM Distinguished Service Award<br \/>\nSIGMOBILE Outstanding Contribution Award<br \/>\nIEEE Koji Kobayashi Award<br \/>\nINFOCOM Lifetime Achievement Award<br \/>\nIEEE Outstanding Leadership & Professional Service Award<br \/>\nTest of Time Awards (2)<br \/>\nACM & IEEE Distinguished Speaker<br \/>\nSIGMOBILE Distinguished Service Award<br \/>\nACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, AAAS Fellow<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/albert\/\"><strong>Albert Greenberg<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nCorporate Vice President, Azure Networking<br \/>\nSIGCOMM Award for Lifetime Contribution<br \/>\nIEEE Koji Kobayashi Award<br \/>\nTest of Time Awards (2)<br \/>\nACM Fellow, NAE Member<span id=\"label-external-link\" class=\"sr-only\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft is excited to be a Silver sponsor for this year\u2019s flagship annual conference SIGCOMM ACM (Special Interest Group on Data Communication) on the applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":603171,"template":"","meta":{"msr-url-field":"","msr-podcast-episode":"","msrModifiedDate":"","msrModifiedDateEnabled":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_classifai_error":"","msr_startdate":"2019-08-19","msr_enddate":"2019-08-24","msr_location":"Beijing, China","msr_expirationdate":"","msr_event_recording_link":"","msr_event_link":"https:\/\/conferences.sigcomm.org\/sigcomm\/2019\/registration.html","msr_event_link_redirect":false,"msr_event_time":"","msr_hide_region":false,"msr_private_event":false,"msr_hide_image_in_river":0,"footnotes":""},"research-area":[13563,13547],"msr-region":[197903],"msr-event-type":[197941],"msr-video-type":[],"msr-locale":[268875],"msr-program-audience":[],"msr-post-option":[],"msr-impact-theme":[],"class_list":["post-603036","msr-event","type-msr-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","msr-research-area-data-platform-analytics","msr-research-area-systems-and-networking","msr-region-asia-pacific","msr-event-type-conferences","msr-locale-en_us"],"msr_about":"<!-- wp:msr\/event-details {\"title\":\"Microsoft at SIGCOMM 2019\",\"backgroundColor\":\"grey\",\"image\":{\"id\":603171,\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SIGCOMM_1920x720.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"}} \/-->\n\n<!-- wp:msr\/content-tabs --><!-- wp:msr\/content-tab {\"title\":\"About\"} --><!-- wp:freeform --><p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shangri-la.com\/beijing\/shangrila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shangri-La Hotel<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nNo. 29 Zizhuyuan Road<br \/>\nHaidian District<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/conferences.sigcomm.org\/sigcomm\/2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SIGCOMM 2019<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><span id=\"label-external-link\" class=\"sr-only\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Opens in a new tab<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is excited to be a Silver sponsor for this year\u2019s flagship annual conference <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/conferences.sigcomm.org\/sigcomm\/2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SIGCOMM ACM<\/a> (Special Interest Group on Data Communication) on the applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communication.
