Abstract
Techniques and solutions are provided for calculating bandwidth matrices for multi-stage networks using matrix operations. For example, link status information can be obtained for network devices of the multi-stage network. Using the link status information, link state matrices can be determined representing bandwidth and connectivity between network devices of adjacent stages of the multi-stage network. Bandwidth matrices can then be calculated using the link state matrices. The bandwidth matrices represent how network traffic is distributed to destination devices.
