Abstract
A coflow is mapped to a plurality of geo-distributed computer sites that can communicate via wide area network (WAN), where the mapping is subject to one or more location-dependent constraints. Multiple candidate data paths are identified for each of a plurality of source-destination pairs of the plurality of geo-distributed computer sites. A mathematical optimization is performed to find a set of paths from the candidate data paths based on total flow completion time and at least one additional objective of the coflow.
