Network Routing on Regular Digraphs and Their Line Graphs

Abstract

This paper concerns all-to-all network routing on regular digraphs. In previous work we focused on efficient routing in highly symmetric digraphs with low diameter for fixed degree. Here, we show that every connected regular digraph has an all-to-all routing scheme and associated schedule with no waiting. In fact, this routing scheme becomes more efficient as the diameter goes down with respect to the degree and number of vertices. Lastly, we examine the simple scheduling algorithm called ``farthest-distance-first'' and prove that it yields optimal schedules for all-to-all communication in networks of interest, including Kautz graphs.
