UB-Mesh proposes a hierarchical full-mesh network for AI training clusters

This reply points to a paper on UB-Mesh, a hierarchical full-mesh datacenter network for AI training.
The core idea is that every NPU can also act as a router, so traffic can take multiple paths instead of relying on a single non-blocking flat fabric. The attached diagram contrasts shortest-path-first routing with all-path routing to show why the design matters for large training systems.
