Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to at least: cut, at a first switch, a surplus link between an old super block and an old spine block, the old super block being one of a plurality of old super blocks and the old spine block being one of a plurality of old spine blocks; add, at the first switch, a first new link between the old super block and a new spine block; add, at the first switch, a second new link between the old spine block and a new super block; continue to cut surplus links and add new links at the first switch until determining that adding a new link at the first switch would result in an excess of links at either the new super block or the new spine block; and in addition to cutting the surplus link and adding the first and second new links, swap a link from the first switch with a link from a second switch based on the determining that adding the new link at the first switch would result in the excess of links at either the new super block or the new spine block.
