In one embodiment, a distributed control technique may enable management of a monolithic routing topology of nodes in a computer network by apportioning the monolithic routing topology into a plurality of regional routing topology domains, each represented by a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The regional topology domains may include a super topology domain that is established as a super-DAG of intermediate nodes interconnected with leaf nodes and rooted by a master node of the computer network. The regional topology domains may further include at least one local topology domain that is established as a local-DAG of intermediate nodes interconnected with leaf nodes and rooted by a local root node of the computer network. Notably, a super node of the computer network may be configured to participate in both the super topology domain as an intermediate node of the super-DAG and the local topology domain as the local root node of the local-DAG.
