We prove a shape theorem for rotor-router aggregation on the comb, for a specific initial rotor configuration and clockwise rotor sequence for all vertices. Furthermore, as an application of rotor-router walks, we describe the harmonic measure of the rotor-router aggregate and related shapes, which is useful in the study of other growth models on the comb. We also identify the shape for which t...

We recognize two trends in router design: increasing pressure to extend the set of services provided by the router and increasing diversity in the hardware components used to construct the router. The consequence of these two trends is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to map the services onto the underlying hardware. Our response to this situation is to define a virtual router archite...

This paper compares the implementation results of two architectures for virtual channel router. Since the router is used for building an on-chip network, its small size is critical. Together with the total design area we provide information about the distribution of this area between the main router blocks and thus give insight about the cost of each block. The comparison shows that one of the ...

The main interconnecting device of today’s Internet the router, forwards IP packets without any true Quality of Service (QoS) considerations. This paper discusses a new approach for routing IP packets, which provides a basic QoS characteristic. It is shown that, by fine-tuning the parameters of a multi-port router, service discrimination can be achieved, according to the priority value set for ...

It is proposed that a new role: Router Node is introduced to the Bluetooth Personal Area Network profile to enable multiple hops between piconets. A proposed structure that allows transparent piconet connection is illustrated. The resulting increase in data throughput is particularly important for scalable PAN communications where multiple hops between piconets are needed. A software system has...
