Abstract

The problem of routing simultaneously many packets on bounded-degree interconnection networks is fundamental to the theory of parallel and distributed computation. In the first part of this work we give an optimal solution for the general communication problem on bounded-degree networks. In the second part we attempt to achieve a similarly wide result for the exact K token distribution problem. We present a probabilistic algorithm that solves the (n, 1, 1)-routing problem, i. e. , executes any (n, 1, 1)-communication request in O(log n) steps on any d-regular expander. The algorithm is a variant of Valiant's two phase routing algorithm.
