Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system for communicating traffic within a network. The system includes a plurality of switches for receiving/transmitting traffic within the network, a programmable physical layer pathway for providing one or more pathways between the plurality of switches and a controller for controlling the plurality of switches and the programmable physical layer pathway for optimizing a flow of traffic within the network, wherein the controller defines the pathway based on a destination of traffic received by the plurality of switches.
