چکیده
We propose a scalable all-optical switching architecture towards contention-free data center networking. The arrayed-waveguide-grating router (AWGR) based switching fabric utilizes wavelength parallelism to alleviate contention, to reduce latency, and to improve scalability. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4250) Networks; (200.6715) Switching

Fully programmable and scalable optical switching fabric for petabyte data center.
We present a converged EPS and OCS switching fabric for data center networks (DCNs) based on a distributed optical switching architecture leveraging both WDM & SDM technologies. The architecture is topology adaptive, well suited to dynamic and diverse *-cast traffic patterns. Compared to a typical folded-Clos network, the new architecture is more readily scalable to future multi-Petabyte data c...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Multi-Terabit Optical Burst/Packet Router prototype
Introduction Future routers for IP core networks will soon cross the Terabit capacity barrier, requiring vendors to investigate new architectures and technologies. In this paper, we report implementation of a rack-mounted prototype, assembled as a proofof-concept for a scalable multi-Terabit IP optical router (TIPOR). The design is based on the new technique of burst switching coupled to an opt...

This paper discusses multi-hop routing, all-optical label swapping operation of optical label switching routers that make real-time decisions based on the label and the forwarding table. The switching fabric conducts data regeneration and label rewriting. 2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.4510 Optical communications, 060.4250 Networks
متن کاملA Low-Latency Optical Switch Architecture using integrated um SOI- based Contention Resolution and Switching
The urgent need for high-bandwidth and high-port connectivity in Data Centers has boosted the deployment of optoelectronic packet switches towards bringing high data-rate optics closer to the ASIC, realizing optical transceiver functions directly at the ASIC package for high-rate, low-energy and low-latency interconnects. Even though optics can offer a broad range of low-energy integrated switc...
متن کاملArbitration-free Time-Division Permutation Switching suitable for All-Optical Implementation
Pursuing high-bandwidth and transparency for optical communications, we propose here a multistage switching fabric whose internal interconnection patterns are periodically reconfigured. Specifically, by cascading guided-wave modules containing each a small set of interleaved, independent addressable plane-to-plane global interconnections, we experimentally demonstrate arbitration-free time-divi...
