Abstract

To accommodate the rapid increase in the amount of data traffic, the capacity of datacenters is expanding rapidly. Datacenter networks (DCNs) utilize electronic packet switches. However, the increases in the speed and capacity of electronic devices are slower than that of data expansion. Furthermore, electronics are too well developed to reach very near their physical limits. To achieve a breakthrough under this situation, optical switching schemes have been widely examined to replace or collaborate with incumbent electronic switches in a DCN. This report reviews the current status of such global researches on an optical DCN.
