In Sigmetrics 2022 the paper "*Cerberus: The Power of Choices in Datacenter
Topology Design*" was published [
https://people.csail.mit.edu/ghobadi/papers/cerberus_sigmetrics_2022.pdf].

"This paper uncovered a potential of serving datacenter traffic with the
switch technology that best matches its structure. By tapping into this
potential, we developed a solution, Cerberus, which we showed to
significantly improve throughput"

Perhaps Cerberus is best suited for ML.
