Apparatus and methods of routing with control vectors in a synchronized adaptive infrastructure (sain) network

A network switch for converting explicitly addressed network data communications to implicitly addressed network data communications, the network switch comprising:

• an ingress port configured to:
• receive network data communications including a plurality of explicitly addressed packets, said plurality of packets having a destination address of a networked system;
• a controller configured to:
• form a connection domain including a plurality of connections;
• identify a connection from the plurality of connections based on a first connection identifier corresponding to a network endpoint along said connection;
• determine a size of a first data portion that is proportionally related to a bandwidth of said connection associated with the first connection identifier;
• allocate the first data portion of the network data communications into a first cellet comprising the first connection identifier;
• and
• generate a control vector that implicitly addresses the first cellet for transmission to the destination address;
• and
• an egress port configured to:
• transmit at least the first cellet via the identified connection according to said control vector to the destination address.

A method for converting explicitly addressed network data communications to implicitly addressed network data communications, the method comprising:

• receiving network data communications including a plurality of packets to be transmitted within a networked system;
• forming a connection domain including a plurality of connections;
• identifying a connection from the plurality of connections based on a first connection identifier;
• determining a size of a first data portion that is proportionally related to a bandwidth of the connection associated with a first connection identifier corresponding to a network endpoint along said connection;
• associating a portion of the network data communications into at least a first cellet comprising the first data portion and the first connection identifier;
• generating a control vector that implicitly addresses the first cellet;
• and
• transmit at least the first cellet via the identified connection according to said control vector to a destination port configured to receive implicitly addressed data within the networked system.

A system for converting explicitly addressed network data communications to implicitly addressed network data communications, the system comprising:

• a switch;
• a processor;
• and
• tangible, non-transitory computer storage that stores a program that when executed by the processor is configured to perform operations comprising:
• receive network data communications including a plurality of packets to be transmitted within a networked system;
• form a connection domain including a plurality of connections;
• identify a connection from the plurality of connections based on a first connection identifier;
• determine a size of a first data portion that is proportionally related to a bandwidth of the connection associated with a first connection identifier corresponding to a network endpoint along said connection;
• associate a portion of the network data communications into at least a first cellet comprising the first data portion and the first connection identifier;
• generate a control vector that implicitly addresses the first cellet;
• and
• transmit at least the first cellet via the identified connection according to said control vector to a destination port configured to receive implicitly addressed data within the networked system.
