Abstract:
A network system for a data center is described in which a switch fabric provides full mesh interconnectivity such that any servers may communicate packet data to any other of the servers using any of a number of parallel data paths. Moreover, according to the techniques described herein, edge-positioned access nodes, optical permutation devices and core switches of the switch fabric may be configured and arranged in a way such that the parallel data paths provide single L2/L3 hop, full mesh interconnections between any pairwise combination of the access nodes, even in massive data centers having tens of thousands of servers. The plurality of optical permutation devices permute communications across the optical ports based on wavelength so as to provide full-mesh optical connectivity between edge-facing ports and core-facing ports without optical interference.

Claim (Index 12):
The network system of  claim 11 ,\n wherein each of the optical multiplexor/demultiplexor slices comprises a plurality of optical mux/demux chips, wherein the different subset of the input ports comprises four input ports, and wherein the N wavelengths from each of the optical signals comprise four unique wavelengths, and wherein each of the optical mux/demux chips of each of the optical multiplexor/demultiplexor slices is configured to:\n receive an optical signal from each of the four input ports coupled to the respective optical multiplexor/demultiplexor slice, \n split the four wavelengths in each of the optical signals, and \n spray the four wavelengths carried by each of the optical signals such that the optical output ports each carry a different one of the possible unique permutations of the combinations of the four input ports and the four wavelengths carried by those four input ports and where no single optical output port carries multiple optical communications having the same wavelength.
