Abstract

Systems and methods of configuring a computer network are provided. The network can include a first stage of M nodes and a second stage of N nodes. Each node in the first stage can form F communication links with nodes in the second stage and each node in the second stage can form S communication links with nodes in the first stage. Nodes in the first stage are connected to each other only through communication links connecting nodes in the first stage to nodes in the second stage. Communication links between the nodes can be assigned such that the minimum value of the throughput between any pair of nodes in the first stage is maximized.
