1. Network switch circuitry for use in association with a physical network infrastructure, the network switch circuitry being for use, when the network switch circuitry is in operation, in receiving and switching network communications that are in accordance with multiple different link layer communication protocols, the network communications to be received by and transmitted from the network switch circuitry via optical signaling media that are to be coupled between network devices of the physical network infrastructure and the network switch circuitry, the network switch circuitry comprising:
processor circuitry;
memory storing instructions for being executed by the processor circuitry, the instructions, when executed by the processor circuitry, resulting in the network switch circuitry being configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via at least one of the optical signaling media, at least one of the network communications that is in accordance with at least one of the multiple different link layer communication protocols;
receiving, via at least one other of the optical signaling media, at least one other network communication that is in accordance with at least one other of the multiple different link layer communication protocols; and
switching the network communications so as to permit the at least one and the at least one other network communications to be communicated via the network switch circuitry to the network devices via other optical signaling media;
wherein:
when the network switch circuitry is in the operation, the network switch circuitry is to provide telemetry information related, at least in part, to the network switch circuitry that is for use in association with:
cloud service management;
software defined infrastructure management;
resource allocation management; and
failure condition detection and prevention; and
the multiple different link layer communication protocols comprise an Ethernet protocol and another link layer protocol that is different, at least in part, from the Ethernet protocol.
