Abstract:
In response to a connectivity disruption in an underlying optical transport ring supporting a routing and packet switching topology, one or more of optical devices of the optical transport ring are modified to establish connectivity between spine nodes in different data centers to reroute communication between at least a subset of the leaf network devices so as to traverse an inter-spine route via the optical modified optical transport ring. That is, in response to a connectivity disruption in a portion of underlying optical transport ring, one or more optical devices within the optical transport ring are modified such that packets between at least a portion of the leaf devices are rerouted along optical paths between at least two of the spine network devices.

Claim (Index 17):
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:\n in a distributed data center system in which a first set of leaf network devices of a first data center communicate with a second set of leaf network devices of a second data center via a single one of a first spine network device of the first data center or a second spine network device of the second data center, determine that connectivity, through a first optical path of an optical transport ring, between the first spine network device of the first data center and at least one leaf network device of the second set of leaf network devices of the second data center is disrupted, wherein the optical transport ring provides the first optical path for transporting packets from the first spine network device of the first data center to the at least one leaf network device of the second data center prior to disruption, and wherein the first optical path in unavailable after disruption; in response to the connectivity disruption, configure one or more packet-optical transport devices of the optical transport ring to establish direct connectivity between the first spine network device and the second spine network device to reroute packets to be transmitted, via the first optical path, to the at least one leaf network device of the second data center, wherein the reroute of the packets is via a second optical path of the optical transport system from the first spine network device to the second spine network device; and communicate, by the first spine network device of the first data center, the packets to the at least one leaf network device of the second data center through the second optical path.
