Abstract :
We propose a WDM based power efficient data center interconnect called as POST (Passive Optical Scalable Tree data center network). POST interconnects thousands of servers and provides low hop count transmission paths among all the servers connected. Furthermore, we propose architectures for two switching components required for the operation of POST network.
