Abstract :
Alternate deflection routing strategies for a 64-node Manhattan Street network suitable as either a metropolitan area network or as a switch fabric are presented. Results are presented for deflection routing strategies based on using a hop counter, a deflection counter, or distance information. It is shown that the use of age or deflection-counter-based strategies improves delay performance. These results also point to the need for input buffers in a working Manhattan Street network implementation
