Claim 2:
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein partitioning the links in each subnetwork comprises defining a third group of the links,
wherein defining the corresponding detour route comprises configuring detour routes through the first and second groups of the links for the data packets that are destined for network end-nodes that are connected to the given subnetwork, and
wherein the method comprises defining at least one dive-through route over which a data packet enters the subnetwork via the first virtual lane through a first trunk link to one of the upper-tier switches in the subnetwork, passes through one of the links in the third group to one of the lower-tier switches in the subnetwork and through another one of the links via the second virtual lane to another one of the upper-tier switches in the subnetwork, from which the data packet exits the subnetwork through a second trunk link.
