Abstract

Optical data center networks (DCNs) have emerged as a promising design for cloud network infrastructure. However, research in this field is constrained by the requirement for specialized hardware and software stacks and the high engineering barriers of building optical testbeds. To address these challenges, we present an experimental platform that can realize diverse optical DCN architectures in a plug-and-play manner. We demonstrate the ease of realizing different architectures with Python scripts and show performance comparisons of running end-to-end cloud applications.
