These schemes are applicable to distributed routing strategies and networks, including those which use current and future switching techniques, such as virtual cut-through switching and wormhole. Uses current design trends, such as the use of virtual channels, and simplifies the protocol steps required for dynamic reconfiguration. Applicable for all networks based on distributed cut-through routing when the minimum number of resources required to escape deadlock is doubled. State of Development Theory is developed and the techniques are formally proved to work.
Simulations verify that improved performance can be realized.
