Abstract:A detailed examination of the traffic in production data centers (DCs) suggests a new way to build optical network architectures (ONAs). As a result, recent efforts have pursued high-fan-out and cluster-based ONAs. A high-fan-out and flexible-cluster (HFFC) ONA for DCs is proposed in this paper. The HFFC architecture is made up of an optical switch and a number of clusters, with the latter consisting of a number of top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Compared to a high-fan-out, scalable, and cluster-based optical inte… Show more
