1. A processor-implemented method for selecting a network parameter, the method comprising:
obtaining an expected traffic pattern for a network, the network comprising a plurality of levels of switches and corresponding links;
selecting a network parameter corresponding to a switch or link at a selected level based on, in part, a portion of the expected network traffic pattern associated with that switch or link; and
calculating a wasteless network design, based on the network parameter, that minimizes flow completion times and maximizes network throughput, the wasteless network design configured to route the expected traffic pattern with all bandwidth of each link used throughout transmission of the expected traffic pattern.
