Abstract
A network device operating as a network node in a network fabric has a set of connection ports to provide a bandwidth capacity for the network device. The connection ports include fabric ports to connect with respective strands using multipoint optical connections. Each strand can connect network nodes of the network fabric according to a harmonic specifying a node distance between adjacent connection points on the strand. The connection ports also include server ports to connect with servers and/or external networks. The network device also includes processing logic to distribute traffic for a destination node to network nodes along corresponding strands of the fabric ports.
