Abstract
A wide variety of deflection routing strategies using packet state inf ormation are compared in terms of delay performance using a toroidal n etwork with uni-directional links. It is found that deflection strateg ies based on packet age, the number of deflections experienced or path length prediction work equally well and are superior to random deflec tion, Strategies based on source to destination shortest path distance or current location to destination shortest path distance were signif icantly inferior to random deflection. This ranking was found to hold with or without the inclusion of nodal input buffers.
