Abstract
A switch in a data network is configured to mediate data exchanges among network elements. The apparatus further includes a processor, which organizes the network elements into a hierarchical tree having a root node network element, vertex node network elements, and child node network elements that include leaf node network elements. The leaf node network elements are originate aggregation data and transmit the aggregation data to respective parent vertex node network elements. The vertex node network elements combine the aggregation data from at least a portion of the child node network elements, and transmit the combined aggregation data from the vertex node network elements to parent vertex node network elements. The root node network element is operative for initiating a reduction operation on the aggregation data.
