Interconnect networks are described that allow nodes having more than two ports to be interconnected. More particularly, each node interfaces with multiple and more than two, fabrics. Also, all fabrics are incomplete in that not every node interfaces with every fabric, and no fabric includes all the nodes, yet every pair of nodes appears together in at least one fabric. Nodes are used that appear together in a fabric as a class of nodes that exhibit similar interconnection properties. The present invention allows for scalable, high-performance and reliable interconnection of large numbers of end nodes while satisfying constraints on architecture of end nodes and networking equipment. Bounds for the number of fabrics and fabric size are disclosed for designing an optimized interconnection network.
