FOScube: a Scalable Data Center Network Architecture Based on Multiple Parallel Networks and Fast Optical Switches

Abstract

We propose a novel scalable and low-latency DCN architecture (FOScube) based on multiple parallel interconnected networks employing distributed low-radix FOS. Numerical analyses on 92160-server indicates that FOScube can interconnect with 3.0us end-to-end latency and 2E-4 packet loss at load 0.3.
