So as the number of levels in fat trees increase, do we keep increasing the bandwidth of the links near the root of every subtree?

@yeezus98, I think the purpose of that is to ease the constraint on the network because a lot of communication happens through that critical link. So the increased bandwidth is to make communication faster. But perhaps you'd want to consider implementing a mesh topology instead if the link near the root is really the bottleneck.
