Question: Consider the data center network with hierarchical topology in Figure 6.30. Suppose now there are 80 pairs of flows, with ten flows between the first
a. Each flow has the same data rate; determine the maximum rate of a flow.
b. For the same traffic pattern, determine the maximum rate of a flow for the highly interconnected topology in Figure 6.31.
c. Now suppose there is a similar traffic pattern, but involving 20 hosts on each rack and 160 pairs of flows. Determine the maximum flow rates for the two topological.
