Abstract:
1. A method of generating a set of potential network topologies, comprising: receiving parameters that specify a number of servers, a number of switches, and a number of ports in the switches, for configuring a network topology; and generating one or more potential network topologies comprising the set of potential network topologies, for each of a number of dimensions, wherein the number of dimensions is based on the number of switches; determining that the set of potential network topologies is structurally feasible; and determining an optimal link aggregation (LAG) factor in each dimension of each of the set of potential network topologies, wherein the potential network topologies comprise potential HyperX topologies, wherein determining that the set of potential network topologies is structurally feasible comprises determining that R−T≧Σ wherein R represents a number of ports assigned to a switch, T represents a number of servers assigned to the switch, D represents a number of dimensions in a network topology, S
