Abstract
A communication network includes multiple nodes, which are arranged in groups such that the nodes in each group are interconnected in a bipartite topology and the groups are interconnected in a mesh topology. The nodes are configured to convey traffic between source hosts and respective destination hosts by routing packets among the nodes on paths that do not traverse any intermediate hosts other than the source and destination hosts.
