Abstract

This paper proposes and analyses a cost-effective fault-tolerant routing strategy for optical-based grid networks. We present the design of a fully adaptive, fault-tolerant routing strategy for multi-hop grid networks based on wavelength-division multiplexing. The routing strategy is both deadlock-free and livelock-free. Regardless of the number and type of faults and size of the grid network, only three buffer sets and two routing tables of size O(d) are required at each node, where d is the grid dimension. In the absence of faults, minimal paths with the least congestion are chosen to minimise latency. In the presence of faults or congestion, misrouting is selectively constrained to prevent livelock. The routing strategy requires only local fault information at each node, and does not require component redundancy or the isolation of healthy nodes and channels.
