1. A system for packet switching in a network, comprising:

  • two or more hybrid packet/circuit switching network architectures configured to connect two or more core level switches in the network architectures, the network architectures being controlled and managed using a centralized software defined network (SDN) control plane;

    an optical ring network configured to interconnect the two or more hybrid network architectures;

    one or more hybrid electrical/optical packet/circuit switches configured to perform switching and traffic aggregation; and

    one or more high-speed optical interfaces and one or more low-speed electrical/optical interfaces configured to transmit data.
