Abstract

We investigate the performance of a novel flat data center network (DCN) architecture based on distributed buffer-less optical packet switches and fast flow control. Scalability of the novel DCN is assessed by numerical simulation with OMNeT++ discrete event simulator for medium and large size data centers. The simulation results reports an end-to-end latency of less than 8µs (including retransmission), a packet loss <10-8 and >9Tb/s average network throughput for load of 0.4 and DCN up to 100,000 servers, which therefore provided a promising solution apart from the prevalent electrical data center architectures.
