Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to receive a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator, determine a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator, and process the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.
Claims27
An apparatus, comprising:
- a controller;
- memory storing instructions operable on the controller, the instructions, when executed, cause the controller to:
- receive a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator;
- determine a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator;
- and
- process the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising a plurality of instructions, that when executed, enable processing circuitry to:
- receive a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator;
- determine a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator;
- and
- process the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.
1 more element
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator;
- determining a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator;
- and
- processing the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- interface circuitry;
- memory storing instructions operable on the interface circuitry, the instructions, when executed, cause the interface circuitry to:
- receive a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator;
- determine a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator;
- and
- process the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.
