Patent ID: 7424524

Claim:
A method for logically configuring a set of computers into a network of computers, the set of computers being comprised of a first set of high bandwidth computers comprising: selecting a first high bandwidth computer of the set of high bandwidth computers to serve as a logical center of the network of computers; identifying a second set of high bandwidth computers and a set of low bandwidth computers to be added to the network of computers computer based on a bandwidth connection capacity; adding the second set of high bandwidth computers to the network of computers; each computer of the second set of high bandwidth computers logically configuring the network of computers into a plurality of concentric polygons, wherein each added computer of the second set of high bandwidth computers operates to: find a second high bandwidth computer in of the first set of high bandwidth collection of computers; follow one of a radial and an indirect radial that includes the second high bandwidth computer to a collection edge, said the radial comprising a series set of logically adjacent radial high bandwidth computers of the first set of high bandwidth computers that logically extends from the logical center, and the indirect radial comprising a series set of logically adjacent indirect radial high bandwidth computers of the first set of high bandwidth computers that logically extends from one of the set of logically adjacent radial high bandwidth computers, wherein the collection edge comprises a logically outermost high bandwidth computer of the first set of high bandwidth computers on said one of the radial and the indirect radial; and logically attach to the collection edge; and adding the set of low bandwidth computers to the network of computers; to and logically configuring the set of low bandwidth computers into a plurality of serial strings, each serial string logically attached to a first corresponding one of said the high bandwidth computers in the group of the first set of high bandwidth computers and the second set of high bandwidth computers.
