1. A networked system comprising: a plurality of all-to-all communication endpoints; and a switch immediately coupled to each of the plurality of all-to-all communication endpoints through which a first endpoint of the plurality of all-to-all communication endpoints directly transmits a data message to each of a set of endpoints comprising all other of the plurality of all-to-all communication endpoints, wherein the data message is transmitted from the first endpoint to a first portion of a the set of endpoints after the first endpoint has transmitted a request-to-send to each of the first portion of the set of endpoints based upon a first logical location of the first portion of the set of endpoints and received an acknowledgment from to each of the first portion of the set of endpoints, wherein the data message is sequentially and subsequently transmitted from the first endpoint to a plurality of subsequent portions of the set of endpoints after the first endpoint has transmitted a request-to-send to each of the plurality of subsequent portions of the set of endpoints based upon a different logical location for each of the plurality of subsequent portions of the set of endpoints and received an acknowledgment from each of the plurality of subsequent portions of the set of endpoints, wherein each portion of set of endpoints includes two or more endpoints.
