%X In very large clusters it is not possible to get Ethernet
   switches that are large enough to support the whole cluster,
   thus a configuration with multiple switches are needed. This
   work seeks to evaluate the interconnection strategies for a
   new 300+ CPU cluster at the University of Southern Denmark.
   The focal point is a very inexpensive switch from D\-Link
   which unfortunately offers only 24 Gb ports. We investigate
   different inter\-switch connections and their impact at
   application level.
