Actually, I have implemented the Ring topology to avoid having to create
a custom topology. Whatever the number of servers, the implementation
is autonomous and will always build a ring. BTW, it is possible to
implement algorithms to build topologies that human will have a lot of
pain to do themself. For instance to built an hypercube of dimension 4
and provide the shortest paths between two nodes of such a graph is
rather time consuming and error-prone, at least for a human :).
A list of "prefered neighbours" - that may be a simpler configuration
option v/s the definition of a topology
I will make this happen.
Thanks,
