Abstract
Topology-centric resource management for large scale service clusters is described herein. According to certain embodiments of the invention, techniques include 1) creating optimized topology with network switches to connect service modules based on application flows and bandwidth requirements, 2) providing centralized or decentralized monitoring schemes to maintain the topology view of a service cluster, and 3) using the topology information for optimizing load balancing and service information dissemination. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
