Abstract
We present a scalable Software-Defined-Networking (SDN) control-plane to integrate Silicon Photonics (SiP) with conventional Ethernet/InfiniBand networks and simultaneously perform packet and circuit switching. Experimental evaluations demonstrate this unique solution with 224 microseconds control plane latency for data-center and high-performance-computing platforms.
