System for multi-chassis interconnection and method for chassis connection

A method for connecting chassis in a multi-chassis interconnection system, wherein the multi-chassis interconnection system comprises at least three chassis, wherein each chassis of the at least three chassis comprises a first switch fabric unit (SFU) and a second SFU, and the method comprises:

• connecting the first SFU in a first chassis of the at least three chassis to the first SFU in each of the at least three chassis except the first chassis;
• connecting the second SFU in a second chassis of the at least three chassis to the second SFU in each of the at least three chassis except the second chassis;
• wherein the first SFU in the second chassis is not directly connected to the first SFU in at least one of the at least three chassis other than the first or second chassis, and the second SFU in the first chassis is not directly connected to the second SFU in at least one of the at least three chassis other than the first or second chassis;
• wherein:
• the multi-chassis interconnection system comprises a level-1 network, the level-1 network comprises the at least four chassis, and the first chassis and the second chassis are main chassis of the level-1 network;
• the multi-chassis interconnection system further comprises a level-2 network, and the level-2 network comprises at least three chassis other than the at least four chassis of the level-1 network, and each of the at least three chassis in the level-2 network comprises a first SFU and a second SFU;
• the method further comprises:
• selecting any two chassis except the main chassis in the level-1 network as a first main chassis and a second main chassis of the level-2 network;
• connecting the first SFU in the first main chassis of the level-2 network to the first SFU in each of the at least three chassis of the level-2 network;
• and
• connecting the second SFU in the second main chassis of the level-2 network to the second SFU in each of the at least three chassis of the level-2 network.
