Abstract
A method and system for ordering an interconnect topology to form a ring structure, the topology comprising a number of nodes, are described. In one embodiment, a self identifier for each of the nodes is determined. Further, the self identifier is mapped to a ring identifier for each node. In addition, each node computes the ring identifier of one of its port-connected nodes as its topologically adjacent neighbor identifier.
