METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPLEMENTING HIGH-RADIX SWITCH TOPOLOGIES ON RELATIVELY LOWER-RADIX SWITCH PHYSICAL NETWORKS |
摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementing high-radix switch topologies on relatively lower-radix physical networks. In one embodiment, the method comprises constructing the physical network (702) composed of one or more optical switches connected via one or more waveguides. A desired switch topology (704) is then designed for implementation on the physical network. The switch topology is then overlain on the switch network by configuring the optical switches and waveguides (706) to implement the switch topology on the physical network. The optical switches can be reconfigured following a transmission over the physical network and can be configured to implement circuit switching or packet switch. |
