Abstract
A method includes obtaining traffic demand data indicating user traffic demand through a communication system including a multistage interconnection network. The method also includes generating first path data based on the traffic demand data. The first path data represents a configuration of components of the multistage interconnection network to provide traffic paths through the multistage interconnection network. The method includes selectively generating second path data based on a determination that a potential failure of the multistage interconnection network cannot be isolated, based on the traffic paths, to a single component. The second path data represents a modified configuration of the components to provide the traffic paths and test paths through the multistage interconnection network to facilitate isolation of the failure of the multistage interconnection network to the single component. The method also includes sending configuration data based on the second path data to initiate configuration of the multistage interconnection network.
