Abstract:
An array of columns and rows of host server devices is mounted in a row of racks. Each device has a host processor and an exact-match packet switching integrated circuit. Packets are switched within the system using exact-match flow tables that are provisioned by a central controller. Each device is coupled by a first cable to a device to its left, by a second cable to a device to its right, by a third cable to a device above, and by a fourth cable to a device below. In one example, substantially all cables that are one meter or less in length are non-optical cables, whereas substantially all cables that are seven meters or more in length are optical cables. Advantageously, each device of a majority of the devices has four and only four cable ports, and connects only to non-optical cables, and the connections involve no optical transceiver.

Claim (Index 35):
An array of servers, comprising:\n a first plurality of servers disposed in a first column; a second plurality of servers disposed in a second column; and a third plurality of servers disposed in a third column, wherein the first, second, and third columns are aligned in a row, wherein a first server in the second column is connected to: a second server in the second column, a third server in the second column, a fourth server in the first column, and a fifth server in the third column, wherein each of the connections is a non-optical connection, wherein the first server is not disposed at the top of the second column, wherein the first server is not disposed at the bottom of the second column, wherein each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth servers maintains an exact-match lookup table stored in a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) of an exact-match flow table structure, and wherein the exact-match flow table structure does not store any flow entry that includes a wildcard indicator.
