Multicasting Optical Reconfigurable Switch

Understand

Artificial Intelligence (AI) demands large data flows within datacenters, heavily relying on multicasting data transfers.

• As AI models scale, the requirement for high-bandwidth and low-latency networking compounds.
• The common use of electrical packet switching faces limitations due to optical-electrical-optical conversion bottlenecks.
• Optical switches, while bandwidth-agnostic and low-latency, suffer from having only unicast or non-scalable multicasting capability.
