Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for allocating network elements to slices of nodes in a network. Dedicated network elements are allocated to slices, defining sets of computational nodes, to provide dedicated paths in the network for the computational nodes in the slices to interconnect with other computational nodes in a same slice. The computational nodes connect to leaf switches and the leaf switches connect to spine switches. The spine switches interconnect the leaf switches. The dedicated network elements comprise at least one of a switch, an edge of at least one link, a link, and at least one queue of a port for a link. Switch routing rules are provided to at least one switch including the dedicated network elements to route packets from the computational nodes through the dedicated network elements allocated to the slices of the computational nodes.
