Abstract
The expansion of a network by converting the network from a 2-stage folded Clos network to a 3-stage folded Clos network can be cost prohibitive. The system and methods described herein relate to a hybrid network topology. More particularly, the disclosure describes a hybrid topology having internal switches configured in a multidimensional topology configuration. Each of the internal switches are connected to the network hosts with a folded Clos topology.
