Abstract

A data center network node (13) comprising a first data connection (22) for connecting at least one server to a conventional subnetwork comprising at least one of a switch or a router, an optical transceiver (14) comprising a transmitter (16) and a receiver (17), a second data connection (23) for connecting the at least one server to the optical transceiver, a switching arrangement (21) for linking the optical transceiver (14) to an offload subnetwork (10), the switching arrangement configurable between a first configuration (24) in which the offload subnetwork bypasses the optical transceiver and a second configuration (28) in which the optical transceiver is optically linked to the offload subnetwork.
