Abstract
  "..... This book describes the design and engineering tradeoffs of
   datacenter networks. It describes interconnection networks from
   topology and network architecture to routing algorithms, and
   presents opportunities for taking advantage of the emerging
   technology trends that are influencing router microarchitecture.
   With the emergence of "many-core" processor chips, it is evident
   that we will also need "many-port" routing chips to provide a
   bandwidth-rich network to avoid the performance limiting effects
   of Amdahl's Law. We provide an overview of conventional topologies
   and their routing algorithms and show how technology, signaling
   rates and cost-effective optics are motivating new network
   topologies that scale up to millions of hosts. The book also
   provides detailed case studies of two high performance parallel
   computer systems and their networks."

ざっと流して見たのですが、教科書的に使えそうな感じです。
ただし、HPC傾向が少々 (かなり？) 強いですが・・・
