Abstract
Data center network architectures, systems, and methods that can reduce the cost and complexity of data center networks. Such data center network architectures, systems, and methods employ physical optical ring network topologies, optical nodes, and optical junction nodes to efficiently allocate bandwidth within the data center networks, while reducing the overall physical interconnectivity requirements of the data center networks.
