Title
FSCOI: A High Fan-Out, Scalable, and Cluster-Based Optical Interconnect for Data Center Networks
Abstract
In this letter, a high fan-out, scalable, and cluster-based optical interconnect (FSCOI) for data center networks is proposed. FSCOI consists of an optical switch and clusters. Compared to OSA, the improved fan-out of FSCOI is achieved by two steps. The first is a coupler for sending that can multiplex the optical signals from all top-of-rack (ToR) switches within a cluster. The second is a wavelength selective switch for receiving that can talk to all ToR switches within the cluster. FSCOI is based on cluster and is suited to intra-cluster traffic. In addition, the high scalability is achieved by increasing the port usage efficiency of the optical switch. Its performance is evaluated by simulations. Extensive results demonstrate that FSCOI has a better performance than OSA.
