Abstract
Methods for configuring networks and systems including nodes and switches. In one aspect, a method includes selecting a (v, b, r, k, λ) balanced incomplete block design (BIBD), wherein the BIBD includes v elements and b blocks of k elements, each element of the v elements is in r blocks of the b blocks, and each distinct pair of elements of the v elements is in λ blocks of the b blocks. Nodes are connected to switches. Each node is assigned to a different element of the BIBD. Each switch is assigned to a different block of the BIBD. For each switch, the switch is connected to the nodes assigned to the elements included in the block assigned to the switch.
