Abstract:

Abstract. In this paper we are comparing ( via simulations) under real conditions, several routing algorithms based either on oblivious wormhole routing or deflection routing. Although these two techniques differ significally in the low level structure of information ( worms, packets), we derived realistic results using an appropriate simulation model. In our experiments we compared average time, latency and throughput achieved by both deflection and wormhole routing ( for both batch and continuous cases). Results show that deflection routing performs better than wormhole routing, for random traffic on the mesh, especially for large networks. Furthermore, although it is hard to analyze simple versions of wormhole routing, it seems that these versions outperform algorithms that are devised in order to simplify theoretical analysis. Finally we implemented and tested an algorithm that combines both deflection and wormhole routing. 1
