Abstract

A switch is provided, which can receive a data communication at an edge of a network. The network may be made up of a plurality of switches. The switch may generate a flow channel based upon an identified source and destination for the data communication. The data communication can be routed across the plurality of switches based on minimizing a number of hops between a subset of the plurality of switches and in accordance with the flow channel.
