Abstract:
Technologies for switching network traffic include a network switch. The network switch includes one or more processors and communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors. The communication circuitry is capable of switching network traffic of multiple link layer protocols. Additionally, the network switch includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded, and determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic. The instructions additionally cause the network switch to forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Claim (Index 1):
A network switch comprising:\n one or more processors; communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the communication circuitry is to assist the one or more processors to switch network traffic of multiple link layer protocols; one or more memory devices having stored therein a plurality of instructions that, when executed, cause the network switch to:\n receive, with the communication circuitry through an optical connection, network traffic to be forwarded; \n determine a link layer protocol of the received network traffic, wherein the received network traffic is formatted according to one of the multiple link layer protocols; and \n forward the network traffic as a function of the determined link layer protocol to a destination network device.
