Analysis and comparison of hot-potato and single-buffer deflection routing in very high bit rate optical mesh networks

The steady state behavior of regular two-connected multihoP networks in uniform traffic under hot-Pobto and a simple single-buffer deflection routing technique is analyzed for very high bit rate optical applications. Manhattan Street Network and ShuffleNet are compared in terms of throughput, delay, deflection probability, and hop distribution both analytically and network traffic. In a deflection routing network with equal link lengths, if the average statistics of the number of hops n are known, the packet rate can be obtained by conditioning
