Abstract:
Systems and methods for increasing bandwidth in a computer network are provided. A computer network can include a first lower level switch, first and second upper level switches, and first and second passive optical splitters, and a mirror. The first passive optical splitter can have a first port directly coupled to the first upper level switch, a second port directly coupled to the second upper level switch. The second passive optical splitter can have a port directly coupled to a port of the first passive optical splitter, and a port directly coupled to the first lower level switch. The mirror can be coupled to a port of the second passive optical splitter and reflect an optical signal received from the second passive optical splitter to the first upper level switch and second upper level switch through the second passive optical splitter and the first passive optical splitter.
