Abstract

Techniques and architectures may be used to generate data center network topologies that use less reliable and less expensive links mixed with links of higher reliability. Such topologies may be categorized into reliability classes, where each class corresponds to a bound(s) on reliability of paths that include the links. A topology class may be selected for use by an application based, at least in part, on the degree of reliability demanded by the application.
