Abstract :
The effect of a shortcut link between two nodes in a ring network is examined. Two cases of connection between a node pair are considered: a single-path and a 2-path connection. In both cases, under certain conditions, supplementing a shortcut link to a ring network proved effective in terms of cost and reliability of the network.
