Abstract

See full text

In a packet communication system, wherein nodes are assigned an absolute coordinate-based address and routing decisions are made at each node without the use of directory-based routing, routing decisions made for a particular packet with an ultimate destination are stored at each node so that the next packet sent by that node to that same ultimate destination can be forwarded in accordance with the previous routing decision made for that destination. Routing decisions are stored locally at each node in a routing table. In one embodiment, nodes also store routing information about the source node for a packet so that when a return packet is received for the original source, the relay node will not have to make a routing decision.
