Abstract:
A method of operating a computer network system configured with disaggregated inputs/outputs. This system can be configured in a leaf-spine architecture and include a router coupled to a network source, a plurality of core switches coupled to the router, a plurality of aggregator switches coupled to each of the plurality of core switches, and a plurality of rack modules coupled to each of the plurality of aggregator switches. Each of rack modules can include an I/O appliance with a downstream aggregator module, a plurality of server devices each with PCIe interfaces, and an upstream aggregator module that aggregates each of the PCIe interfaces. A high-speed link can be configured between the downstream and upstream aggregator modules via aggregation of many serial lanes to provide reliable high speed bit stream transport over long distances, which allows for better utilization of resources and scalability of memory capacity independent of the server count.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of operating a computer network system having an I/O appliance, a plurality of server devices coupled to the I/O appliance, and an upstream aggregating silicon photonics device coupled to the plurality of server devices; the method comprising:\n receiving, by a plurality of optical ports of the I/O appliance numbered from 1 to N, a data stream; aggregating, by a downstream aggregating silicon photonics device of the I/O appliance provided on each of the plurality of optical ports, the data stream; processing, by a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface of each server device, the data stream; and aggregating, by the upstream aggregating silicon photonics device, each of the PCIe interfaces to aggregate the data stream.
