The target of network control in datacenter is to satisfy the requirement of network resources of tenants and meet the demand of network management. A method of edge software-defined control framework supporting efficient management in data center network(DCN) was proposed named FRINGE. FRINGE builds up a software-defined networking(SDN) management domain at the edge of datacenter networks, exploiting configurable network devices to improve the efficiency of network management. The article analyzed the feasibility of implementation of FRINGE by updating the software of top-of-rack switches to support OpenFlow. It illustrates the troubleshooting in network management to present the enhanced effectiveness of the framework. The probing overhead of FRINGE is two orders of magnitude less than the previous method.
