使用Python绘制数据中心网络拓扑

本文采用Python语言，借助networkx, matplotlib实现三种典型数据中心网络拓扑的绘制与可视化。三种数据中心网络拓扑为Fat-tree, BCube, Vl2。

拓扑生成

在开始之前，引入相关的包：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import networkx as nx

• Fat-tree

def fat_tree_topo(n=4):
    """Standard fat tree topology
    n: number of pods
    total n^3/4 servers
    """
    topo = nx.Graph()
    num_of_servers_per_edge_switch = n // 2
    num_of_edge_switches = n // 2
    num_of_aggregation_switches = num_of_edge_switches
    num_of_core_switches = int((n / 2) * (n / 2))

    # generate topo pod by pod
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(num_of_edge_switches):
            topo.add_node("Pod {} edge switch {}".format(i, j))
            topo.add_node("Pod {} aggregation switch {}".format(i, j))
            for k in range(num_of_servers_per_edge_switch):
                topo.add_node("Pod {} edge switch {} server {}".format(
                    i, j, k))
                topo.add_edge(
                    "Pod {} edge switch {}".format(i, j),
                    "Pod {} edge switch {} server {}".format(i, j, k))

    # add edge among edge and aggregation switch within pod
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(num_of_aggregation_switches):
            for k in range(num_of
