Abstract:
Examples include receiving a rule for communication between a first group and a second group of endpoints in a network. The network may include a plurality of networking devices. Examples include receiving a first identifier for the first group and a second identifier and a network address for the second group, receiving composition data of the network. Examples also include determining a topology of the network comprising a first number of communication paths and determining a reduced topology based on the rule, the first identifier, and the second identifier. The first number of paths may link a first networking device out of the plurality of networking devices to each device of the plurality of the networking devices. The second number of paths may link the first networking device to the second group.

Claim (Index 16):
A switch comprising:\n a policy engine to receive a group-based rule for communication between a first group of endpoints and a second group of endpoints in a network, wherein the network comprises a total number of networking devices; a topology engine:\n to receive a first identifier for the first group; \n to receive a second identifier for the second group; \n to receive composition data of the network representing the total number of networking devices; \n to determine a topology of the network based on the composition data, wherein the topology comprises a first number of paths linking the switch to each device out of the total number of networking devices; and \n to determine a reduced topology based on the rule, wherein the reduced topology comprises a second number of paths linking the switch to the second group of endpoints; and \n a forwarding engine to generate a routing table based on the reduced topology.
