Abstract
A fiber loop includes a plurality of processors coupled to each other and a controller coupled to each of the plurality of processors. The controller is configured to: assign to each of the plurality of processors a number of wavelengths for interconnect communications between the plurality of processors; receive, from a first processor of the plurality of processors, a request for one or more additional wavelengths; determine whether an interconnect bandwidth utilization on the fiber loop is less than a threshold; and in response to determining that the interconnect bandwidth utilization on the fiber loop is less than the threshold, reassign, to the first processor, one or more wavelengths that are assigned to a second processor of the plurality of processors.
