    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a quantum key distribution (QKD) enabled intra-datacenter network. An example system includes a first QKD device and a second QKD device. The first QKD device includes a first quantum-enabled port and a first network port. The second QKD device includes a second quantum-enabled port and a second network port. The first quantum-enabled port of the first QKD device is communicatively coupled to the second quantum-enabled port of the second QKD device via a QKD link associated with quantum communication. Furthermore, the first network port of the first QKD device is communicatively coupled to a first network switch via a first classical link associated with classical network communication. The second network port of the second QKD device is communicatively coupled to a second network switch via a second classical link associated with classical network communication.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein can enable minimum processing performed at a signal device level, such that the majority of the non-domain-specific processing can be offloaded to a processing device. For example, the processing device can receive signal data from a signal device, preprocess the signal data to obtain preprocessed signal data having a data format for domain-specific processing by software executed by at least one processing unit of a processing platform, and provide the preprocessed signal data for domain-specific processing by the software executed by the at least one processing unit.

    Abstract: A routing controller (30) includes an interface (68) and multiple processors (60) The interface is configured to receive a permutation (76) defining requested interconnections between N input ports and N output ports of a Benes network (24). The Benes network includes multiple 2-by-2 switches (42), and is reducible in a plurality of nested subnetworks associated with respective nesting levels, down to irreducible subnetworks including a single 2-by-2 switch. The multiple processors are configured to collectively determine a setting of the 2-by-2 switches that implements the received permutation, including determining sub-settings for two or more subnetworks of a given nesting level in parallel, and to configure the multiple 2-by-2 switches of the Benes network in accordance with the determined setting.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing data port downtime are provided. An example network interface device of the present disclosure includes a first data port and a second data port. The network interface device performs a first link training process associated with the first data port coupled to a first communication link to determine a first communication parameter set for the first communication link. The network interface device then deactivates the first data port and performs a second link training process associated the second data port coupled to a second communication link to determine a second communication parameter set. Based on a network usage parameter set associated with a data plane of the network interface device, the network interface device determines whether to activate the first data port concurrently with the second data port.

    Abstract: Switches for performing packet switching and associated methods are provided. An example switch includes an ingress port for receiving a packet. The switch includes a plurality of egress ports for discharging the packet from the switch. The switch includes a plurality of egress queues with each egress queue associated with one of the plurality of egress ports. The switch includes a control plane configured to determine a descriptor associated with a packet, determine a first egress port from which to discharge the at least one packet and to transmit the descriptor to an egress queue associated with the first egress port. The switch includes a descriptor crossbar configured to transmit the descriptor from the egress queue to a second egress port of the plurality of egress ports. The switch includes a packet crossbar configured to transmit the at least one packet from the ingress port to the second egress port.
