    The Register[^]:

    Tiny electromechanical units bounce traffic down different fibers

    Smoke used separately

    I'll let you decide where it gets blown

      Quote:

      "For example, serving web search results in real time might require real-time latency guarantees and bandwidth allocation, while a multi-hour batch analytics job may have more flexible bandwidth requirements for short periods of time,"

      And sucking all the data from the users? Where do they manage it?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        How the heck do you switch the data stream on a fiber to another pathway fast enough to not lose data?

          This article gives a basic tutorial on the subject. I assume that their (paid) solutions are much more sophisticated. [Fiber loop mirrors, explained by RP Photonics Encyclopedia; reflectors, nonlinear, Sagnac interferometer, signal processing, birefringence, sensors, saturable absorber, mode-locked fiber lasers](https://www.rp-photonics.com/fiber\_loop\_mirrors.html)

            Dang, that's impressive stuff. Way outside my knowledge base, lol. But a fascinating read on the technology. Thanks for the link!

              Using mirrors to reconfigure networks? I just can't see myself doing that.
