Abstract: A network device operating as a network node in a network fabric has a set of connection ports to provide a bandwidth capacity for the network device. The connection ports include fabric ports to connect with respective strands using multipoint optical connections. Each strand can connect network nodes of the network fabric according to a harmonic specifying a node distance between adjacent connection points on the strand. The connection ports also include server ports to connect with servers and/or external networks. The network device also includes processing logic to distribute traffic for a destination node to network nodes along corresponding strands of the fabric ports.

Abstract: Network traffic between a source node and a destination node in a network fabric can be routed by distributing the network traffic from the source node to a set of one-hop neighbors of the source node. Each one-hop neighbor of the source node can be set as a first waypoint. A one-hop neighbor of the destination node mapped to the corresponding one-hop neighbor of the source node is identified and set as a second waypoint. The distributed traffic is then routed from the first waypoint to the second waypoint via a network fabric having network nodes connected according to harmonics.

Abstract: A computer network organized in a logical grid having rows and columns can include network nodes coupled according to harmonics. Each network node can be coupled to network nodes of the same row using a set of horizontal strands according to a set of horizontal harmonics. Each of the horizontal harmonics specifies a node distance along the row between adjacent connection points on the corresponding horizontal strand. Each network node can also be coupled to network nodes of the same column using a set of vertical strands according to a set of vertical harmonics. Each of the vertical harmonics specifies a node distance along the column between adjacent connection points on the corresponding vertical strand.

Abstract: Methods include, for each of a plurality of pluggable optical transceivers that are fiber-coupled to respective inputs of a passive wavelength division multiplexer having a predetermined loss profile defining a path specific loss between each input and a common output, sending an optical output signal along an optical signal path while the other optical transceivers of the plurality are not sending optical output signals and measuring an optical power of the sent optical output signal at an input of a local optical amplifier downstream from an output of the wavelength division multiplexer, wherein the local optical amplifier is configured to transmit the optical output signals to a distant location, and, based on the measured optical powers, determining a loss distribution across the optical output signals at the input of the local optical amplifier by subtracting the predetermined path specific losses of the wavelength division multiplexer, comparing a variation in the loss distribution to a nominal variation to determine a defect in a transceiver fiber path associated with a higher loss component of the distribution where the variation exceeds the nominal variation, comparing an average or maximum loss in the loss distribution to a nominal average or maximum allowable loss to determine a defect in a common fiber path downstream from the multiplexer, and adjusting one or more of the optical powers of the optical output signals produced by the optical transceivers before transmission through the multiplexer, by an optical power offset that produces a predetermined flat optical power spectrum profile at the input of the local optical amplifier and that increases a transmission distance over which the optical output signals decodably propagate.
