Cloud computing data centers are becoming increasingly popular for providing computing resources. However, the expenses of these data centers has skyrocketed with the increase in computing capacity with large percentage of the operational expenses due to energy consumption, especially in data centers that are used as backend computing infrastructure for cloud computing. This chapter emphasizes the role of the communication fabric in energy consumption and presents solutions for energy efficient network aware resource allocation in clouds. [less ▲]

This paper presents a novel queue management mechanism for base stations in infrastructure IEEE 802.11 networks. The mechanism is transparent to high-level protocols and is compatible with the standard. Its effectiveness is illustrated by showing that it can ameliorate the RTT unfairness and the MAC anomaly problems in wired-cum-wireless networks. [less ▲]
