Computer scientists scale 'layer 2' data centre networks to 100,000 ports and beyond

University of California, San Diego computer scientists have created software that they hope will lead to data centres that logically function as single, plug-and-play networks that will scale to the massive scale of modern data centre networks. The software system - PortLand - is a fault-tolerant, layer 2 data centre network fabric capable of scaling to 100,000 nodes and beyond...
