TOWARDS FLEXIBLE GUARANTEES IN CLOUDS: ADAPTIVE
BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION AND PRICING
ABSTRACT
This article focuses on the problem of bandwidth allocation to users of Cloud data centers.
An interesting approach is to use advance bandwidth reservation. Such systems usually
assume all requests demand either bandwidth-guarantee (BG) or time guarantee (TG), but not
both. Hence the solutions are tailored for one type of requests. A BG request demands
guarantee on bandwidth; where as a TG request demands guarantee on time for transfer of
data of specified volume. We define a new model that allows users to not only submit both
kinds of requests, but also specify flexible demands. We tie up the problem of bandwidth
allocation with differential pricing, that gives discounts to users based on the flexibility in
their requests. We propose a two-phase, adaptive and flexible bandwidth allocator (A-FBA)
that, in one phase admits and allocates minimal bandwidth to dynamically arriving user
requests, and in another phase, allocates additional bandwidth for accepted requests
maximizing revenue. The problem formulated in first phase is NP-hard, while the second
phase can be solved in polynomial time. We show that, in comparison to a traditional
deterministic model, the A-FBA not only increases the number of accepted requests
significantly, but also does so by generating higher revenues.
