Routing
•Chaos
routing is effective because “non-minimal” adaptivity can by-pass
congestion
– Light traffic,
randomize routes over a regular, symmetric, consistent networks, avoids
creating hot spots; no point where packets can get “stuck”
–Moderate traffic,
wait in a node for a route to clear, this is better than “hot potato” which must
route
–Heavy
traffic and faults, deroute in the wrong direction to move around the
problem
Higher throughput, lower latency,
higher load-carrying
capacity than other routers
