Analytical evaluation of improved access techniques in deflection routing networks

This paper presents an extension of a known analytical model for the performance evaluation of nonpriority deflection routing networks in uniform traffic. The extension allows the analysis of improved access techniques. The key features of the analytical technique are described by casting it in a very simple setting: nonpriority hot-potato in a two-connected slotted shufflenet (SN) network. Results are presented for three access techniques: transmit-no-hold (TXNH), transmit-hold (TXH), and bypass queuing (BQ).
