Optical DCN Technologies Clause Samples

Optical DCN Technologies. As was shown in Section 2.1, data bandwidth requirements have grown very fast and this tendency continues, calling for fundamentally different underlying communication speeds. Copper links cannot satisfy the growing bandwidth, latency, resiliency, and density demands, making it mandatory to adopt alternative kinds of interconnect technologies – optics and photonics. As optical links replace copper in DCN environments, wasteful conversions from optics to electronics and from electronics to optics become a main source of overhead, both in added latency and in additional power dissipation. Advancements in optical and photonics research and manufacturing will eventually enable all optical DCN with ultra-high densities, low latencies and high flexible bandwidth. Taking into account the inherent limitation of optical technology – tendency to favour circuit switching over the packet switching, relatively slow reconfiguration time and lack of reliable buffering and per-packet processing, it becomes clear that SDN’s programmability is not simply desirable, as it is for large scale switched Ethernet, but that it is mandatory. In COSIGN, we will develop SDN control plane capabilities harnessing the benefits and making up for the shortcomings of optical interconnect technologies, so that the complexity of a flat architecture is controlled by a highly dynamic programmable software system.
