Reconfigurable data center networks (RDCNs) are arising as a promising data center
network (DCN) design in the post-Moore's law era. However, the constantly reconfigured …

Datacenter networks today provide best-effort delivery—messages may observe
unpredictable queueing, delays, and drops due to switch buffer overflows within the network …

We describe our experience building and deploying a demand-oblivious optically-switched
network based on the RotorNet and Opera architectures. We detail the design, manufacture …

Circuit-switched technologies have long been proposed for handling high-throughput traffic
in datacenter networks, but recent developments in nanosecond-scale reconfiguration have …

Traditional datacenter networks have been designed primarily using packet switches.
However, due to the end of Moore's Law and Denard Scaling, packet switches face …

Reconfigurable optical topologies promise to improve the performance in datacenters by
dynamically optimizing the physical network in a demand-aware manner. State-of-the-art …

Optical data center networks (DCNs) are emerging as a promising design for cloud
infrastructure. However, existing optical DCN architectures operate as closed ecosystems …

Optical data center networks (DCNs) have emerged as a promising design for cloud network
infrastructure. However, research in this field is constrained by the requirement for …

Demand-aware reconfigurable datacenter networks can be modeled as a ToR-Matching-
ToR (TMT) two-layer architecture, in which each top-of-rack (ToR) is represented by a static …

Reconfigurable networks have traditionally suffered from long reconfiguration times due to
hardware limitations. With the emergence of new technologies that can reconfigure on the …
