fat_tree

Fat-Tree infrastructure generator.

This module provides a factory function to instantiate a Fat-Tree network topology commonly used in data center environments. The topology includes core, aggregation, and edge switches, as well as hosts connected to edge switches.

The size and structure of the topology are determined by the k parameter, which must be an even number. The number of pods is equal to k, and the total number of hosts is k^3 / 4.

The implementation follows the definition from: Mohammad Al-Fares et al. “A Scalable, Commodity Data Center Network Architecture.” ACM SIGCOMM CCR, 2008, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1402958.1402967
