Leaf-spine Architectures

Leaf-Spine Architectures is a data center network topology that belongs to the class of scalable, low-latency network designs and is distinguished by its two-tiered structure comprising leaf switches that connect to end devices and spine switches that interconnect the leaf layer in a full-mesh topology to ensure uniform path redundancy and predictable performance.
