Claim 10:
11. A method for data routing in a datacenter network, comprising:
establishing direct server-to-server wireless links along horizontal lines through a beam-steering directional transmitter and beam-steering directional receiver attached on a top of each server of a plurality of servers in adjacent rows of a plurality of server racks in a rectangular pattern with aisles running between the plurality of adjacent rows, wherein each server is horizontally aligned with a corresponding server in an adjacent row, by orienting the top-attached beam-steering directional receiver towards the top-attached beam-steering directional transmitter by exchange of control messages; and
establishing direct server-to-server wireless links within a row of the adjacent rows along a vertical plane of the row through a beam-steering directional transmitter and beam-steering directional receiver attached on a side of each server of the plurality of servers in the plurality of server racks, by orienting the side-attached beam-steering directional receiver towards the side-attached beam-steering directional transmitter by exchange of control messages; wherein direct server-to-server wireless gigabit speed communication between any pair of servers can be provided.
