DISTRIBUTED OPTICAL SWITCHING ARCHITECTURE FOR DATA CENTER NETWORKING

摘要

A system has a first rack with a first set of servers and a first top of rack switch and a second rack with a second set of servers and a second top of rack switch. A first optical switch is connected to the first top of rack switch. A second optical switch is connected to the second top of rack switch and the first optical switch. The first optical switch and the second optical switch each employ wavelength selective switching.
