Abstract:
A data center network node ( 13 ) comprising a first data connection ( 22 ) for connecting at least one server to a conventional subnetwork comprising at least one of a switch or a router, an optical transceiver ( 14 ) comprising a transmitter ( 16 ) and a receiver ( 17 ), a second data connection ( 23 ) for connecting the at least one server to the optical transceiver, a switching arrangement ( 21 ) for linking the optical transceiver ( 14 ) to an offload subnetwork ( 10 ), the switching arrangement configurable between a first configuration ( 24 ) in which the offload subnetwork bypasses the optical transceiver and a second configuration ( 28 ) in which the optical transceiver is optically linked to the offload subnetwork.

Claim (Index 5):
A data center network comprising:\n at least three nodes comprising an optical switching arrangement; a first subnetwork configured to connect the nodes, comprising at least one of a switch and a router; wherein the nodes comprise a first data connection for connecting at least one server to the first subnetwork; an offload subnetwork comprising an optical link configured to provide an optical path arranged to link the optical switching arrangements of the nodes, wherein the node further comprises an optical transceiver for connecting to the at least one server and for transmitting and receiving on the optical link, wherein the switching arrangement is configurable between a first configuration in which the optical path bypasses the optical transceiver and a second configuration in which the optical path is optically connected to the optical transceiver, such that the offload subnetwork is configurable to provide a point-to-point link between two of the nodes whilst bypassing the optical transceiver of the at least one other node.
