Due to the problems of congestion, insufficient scalability, and high cost in the network core layer link, the network interconnection architecture needs to be optimized. The photoelectric interconnection technology has attracted the attention of many researchers with its high bandwidth, low latency, and low power consumption. In this study, after fully considering the requirements of optoelectronic switching on network node degree and processing delay and corresponding to different transmission characteristics of circuit switching and optical circuit switching, an optoelectronic interconnection architecture supporting heterogeneous network topology, namely THtop, is proposed. According to the optical circuit switching/circuit switching characteristics of the Internet, the corresponding topology structure is designed respectively in this architecture to enhance the system integration and reduce the cost. At the same time, in order to meet the requirements of wavelength and number of hops of optical circuit switching, distributed control is designed in THtop, and the design method of heterogeneous optical switching unit is introduced in the switching equipment, so that the optical switching node can further reduce the cost while playing its role. The use of high-speed optoelectronic networks will cause a large amount of traffic on the channel. In this study, the traffic identification is analyzed on the proposed THtop architecture. The Map Reduce framework in cloud computing is used as the identification model, and the K-means algorithm is taken as the identification algorithm. According to its characteristics, the W_K-means algorithm is proposed for the type identification of traffic. The results show that under the OpenNet Internet simulation environment, when the traffic is set to a certain level, more than 90% of the non-blocking network switching can be realized under the THtop architecture, and the completion time of the mouse flow and elephant flow can be significantly improved. Therefore, under the Map Reduce model, the proposed W_K -means algorithm can quickly identify different traffic types.

Data processing platform is the core support platform of cloud computing. The use of electric interconnection architecture will increase the complexity of network topology, while optical interconnection architecture is ideal, so cloud computing platform based on optical interconnection has become a research hotspot. The distributed optical interconnection architecture of cloud computing data processing platform is focused on. Combining the hybrid mechanism of optical circuit switching and electric packet switching, it can meet a variety of traffic requirements. Meanwhile, it improves the switching mechanism, communication strategy, and router structure. Moreover, considering that the hybrid optoelectronic interconnection architecture can improve the network delay and throughput, but there is still a problem of network consumption. Combined with the network characteristics of the data processing platform (wireless mesh structure) of cloud computing, the network topology algorithm is studied, and the relationship between the topology and the maximum number of allocable channels is analyzed. Furthermore, the equation of topological reliability calculation is defined, and the optimization model of topological design is proposed, according to which the data processing platform of cloud computing is further optimized under the photoelectric hybrid interconnection architecture. During the experiment, before topology optimization, by changing the message length, it is found that adding optical circuit switching can help achieving large capacity and new type of transmission, and can effectively reduce the time delay. After topology optimization structure is adopted, the photoelectric hybrid-data processing platform of cloud computing without topology optimization is compared. It is found that under different reliability constraints, the throughput and end-to-end delay of the network are significantly improved, which proves that the data processing platform of cloud computing based on the photoelectric hybrid interconnection architecture is a feasible cloud computing platform.
