AB - Software-defined networking control plane for seamless integration of multiple silicon photonic switches in Datacom networks YIWEN SHEN, MAARTEN H. N. HATTINK, PAYMAN SAMADI, QIXIANG CHENG, ZIYI ZHU, ALEXANDER GAZMAN, AND KEREN BERGMAN Lightwave Research Laboratories, Electrical Engineering Department, Columbia University, U.S.A. ys2799@columbia.edu Abstract: Silicon photonics based switches offer an effective option for the delivery of dynamic bandwidth for future large-scale Datacom systems while maintaining scalable energy efficiency. The integration of a silicon photonics-based optical switching fabric within electronic Datacom architectures requires novel network topologies and arbitration strategies to effectively manage the active elements in the network. We present a scalable software-defined networking control plane to integrate silicon photonic based switches with conventional Ethernet or InfiniBand networks. Our software-defined control plane manages both electronic packet switches and multiple silicon photonic switches for simultaneous packet and circuit switching. We built an experimental Dragonfly network testbed with 16 electronic packet switches and 2 silicon photonic switches to evaluate our control plane. Observed latencies occupied by each step of the switching procedure demonstrate a total of 344 μs control plane latency for data-center and high performance computing platforms. © 2018 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4253) Networks, circuit-switched; (060.4510) Optical communications; (200.4650)
