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 11):
A method of operating a data center network, the network comprising a first subnetwork, an offload subnetwork and at least three nodes, wherein the first subnetwork is configured to connect the nodes and comprises at least one of a switch and a router; and the offload subnetwork comprises an optical path to link the nodes, the method comprising:\n identifying a flow between a first node and a second node for offloading to the offload subnetwork;\n establishing a point-to-point link between the first node and the second node by configuring switching arrangements of the first node and the second node to connect a transceiver of the node to the optical path, and \n configuring the switching arrangement of the at least one other node to bypass the optical path from the transceiver of the node.
