Abstract :
This paper presents a new multi-dimensional network architecture arranged in alternated regular mesh fashion with toroidal boundaries. Network performance and cost parameters, such as the network diameter and the network capacity, are derived as functions of the dimension and analyzed for the best adaptation of the its dimension. The possibility of making use of the proposed network in local computer networks, processor interconnection, WDM optical networks, and broadband switching architectures applications is investigated
