Abstract
Free Space Optical Communication (FSO) is a promising technology to address wired Data Center Network (DCN) challenges like power consumption, low scalability and flexibility, congestion and cabling. Scholars have developed indirect line-of-sight (LoS) FSO schemes by reflecting the FSO beams via switchable mirrors. These schemes have introduced extra overhead delay to establish indirect LoS links, defined herein as the rack-to-rack FSO link setup process. The purpose of this work is to study and model this setup process with the consideration of the DC workloads. We found that the process involves a sequence of i.i.d random variables that contribute differently to its delay. Also, the process shows a statistical characteristic close to M/M/K. However, the number of FSO links, K, is random with time, which necessitates careful modeling. Finally, the PDF of the process total response time is close to the hypoexponential distribution, and it maintains its main characteristics even with different distributions for the service time.
