Abstract: | An approximate analysis of the transient and steady state behavior of deflection routing in hypercube networks is presented, under a uniform traffic model. In deflection routing congestion causes packets admitted to the network to be temporarily misrouted rather than buffered or dropped. The approximations show that deflection routing performs remarkably well in hypercube networks, for small as well as large networks and for the whole range from light to heavy load. Simulations suggest that the approximations are quite accurate |
