Abstract
A method of generating a plurality of potential network topologies is provided herein. The method includes receiving parameters that specify a number of servers, a number of switches, and a number of ports in the switches. The parameters are for configuring a network topology. The method also includes generating one or more potential network topologies comprising the set of potential network topologies, for each of a number of dimensions. The number of dimensions is based on the number of switches. The method further includes determining that the set of potential network topologies is structurally feasible. Additionally, the method includes determining an optimal link aggregation (LAG) factor in each dimension of each of the set of potential network topologies.
