Online message routing in a network with distributed control
John McAlpin, J. Liu · 2002
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of stated degrees of fault-tolerant message routing and methods for upgrading a network to satisfy those conditions are presented. Local adaptive control mechanisms which dynamically reroute messages to bypass faulted links in a near-optimal way are presented. The distributed control process described uses only locally stored information together with information transmitted on the message itself.>
