System for optimized data communication in hierarchical networks

Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described for data communication. In an example, a data distribution task with execution parameters that include plurality of data portions and plurality of hosts is received from a user input device. A plurality of points of delivery (PODs) are determined, wherein the plurality of PODs comprises a plurality of switches, and the plurality of PODs are operatively coupled to the plurality of hosts to configure a network structure. At least one destination host is identified for each source host based on at least a number of communication hops required for traversal of data from each source host to the at least one destination host via a corresponding subset of the plurality of switches, and the data distribution task is executed by transmitting respective portions of the plurality of data portions from each source host to the at least one identified destination.
