摘要: A system and method are provided that support a routing using tree-like or graph topology supports multiple links per node, where each link is designated as an Up, Down, Lateral link, both, within the topology. The may use segmented MAC architecture which have of re-purposing IP addresses for inside MACs outside MACs, leveraging what would normally be physical signaling to feed into switch.
