摘要： Systems and methods include receiving incoming packets associated with flows in a data center network where the flows are forwarded on a per-packet basis; maintaining a state of each of the flows and of received incoming packets; and dequeuing the received incoming packets based on one or more packet dequeue conditions and the state. The edge switch can be one of a Top of Rack switch and a Network Interface Card (NIC) communicatively coupled to a corresponding server. The received incoming packets can utilize a transport protocol including any of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Xpress Transport Protocol (XTP), and Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).

摘要： Systems and methods increase the fan-out (radix) of optical connections that are co-packaged with electric circuits, e.g., Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Optical or electrical techniques are presented to break out multiple data streams from a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) integrated with an ASIC. This provides the ability to increase the I/O capability (radix) of an ASIC, allowing the ASIC to connect to a larger number of devices (e.g., servers). A cross-connect system includes one or more cross-connect devices optically interconnected to 1) a plurality of switches with each switch connected to one or more subtending servers, and 2) a plurality of switch circuits having Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) integrated therewith, each of the one or more cross-connect devices is configured to provide fan-out of the plurality of switches between the plurality of switch circuits to increase a number of the subtending servers.

摘要： Systems and methods for building routing tables for use in a data center network are provided. In one embodiment, a switch is arranged in a network environment having a plurality of switches. The switch includes a plurality of inward-directed ports configured for direct connection with a plurality of servers and a plurality of outward-directed ports configured for direct connection with a subset of the plurality of switches. The switch also includes a processor configured to generate a Routing Table (RT) in an RT build process and to create a Forwarding Table (FT) for forwarding packets when the RT build process is complete. The outward-directed ports are configured to forward packets to one or more switches of the subset of switches according to the RT. The FT includes at least a Shortest Path (SP) route and one or more Off-Shortest Path (OSP) routes for forwarding the packets to the one or more switches.
