Ty. Chung et al., COST-PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS IN MANHATTAN STREET NETWORK VERSUS 2-D TORUS, I.E.E.E. transactions on computers, 43(2), 1994, pp. 240-243
Two recent topologies-Manhattan Street Network (MSN) and HR(4)-Net (or
2-D Torus)-proposed for metropolitan areas are primarily mesh connect
ed networks. In this brief contribution, we compare the average distan
ce, the diameter, the terminal reliability, and the cost. Simulation r
esults indicate that they are fairly close in performance, while the M
SN is observed to be more cost-effective than the HR(4)-Net.
