On demand of many users, basic networks of a parallel computer system are required to have a property that can embed various topologies. Bisectional interconnection network is known to satisfy this property, and it can embed various topologies optimally. Nowadays one is very interested in the hypercube as a message pssing multicomputer system, so it is very important to implement a hypercube in bisectional network. In this paper, a hypercube is implemented in a versatile bisecional netork, and its routing and broadcasting algorithm are proposed. Conventional bisectional network can accomodata linear array, complete binary tree and mesh structure as its topology. Now hypercube is implemented to be utilized as a general purpose supercomputercommunication architecture. The proposed routing and broadcasting algorithm embedded in bisectional network are general purpose algorithms which satisfy property of conventional hypercube.

This paper presents a distributed routing scheme for allowing network control to be distributed through the switching elements of a multistage baseline network. The routing technique we use here is the destination tag scheme which uses the binary representation of a destination address as the reuting tag. With the topological properties of the network, we introduce a distributed algorithm which allows any connection from a source to arbitrary number of destinations. Also, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated by computer simulation, and the results of the method is compared to other schemes in terms of time complexity.

Based on the destination IP address of incoming packets, the Internet routers determine next hops and forward packets toward final destinations through If address lookup. The bandwidth of communication links increases exponentially fast as well as the routing table size grows significant as the number of single host networks attached to the Internet increases. Since packets should be processed at wire-speed, the increased link speed reduces the processing time of a packet in routers, and hence more efficient and fast IP address lookup algorithms and architectures are required in the next generation routers. Most of the previous IP lookup schemes compare routing prefixes of shorter length first with a given input IP address. Since IP address lookup needs to find the most specific route of the given input, search continues until the longest matched prefix is found while it keeps remembering the current test matching prefix. In this paper, based on binary search on prefix length, we proposed a new IP address lookup algorithm which compares longer prefixes first. The proposed scheme is consisted of multiple tries with prefixes on leaves only. The trie composed of the longest prefixes is primarily searched whether there is a match with the given input. This processing is repeated for the trio of the next longer prefixes until there finds a match. Hence the proposed algorithm provides the fast search speed. The proposed algorithm also provides the incremental update of prefixes while the previous binary search on length scheme does not provide the incremental update because of pre-processing requirement. In this paper, we performed extensive simulations and showed the performance comparisons with related works.

Network services, such as teleconferencing, remote diagnostics and education, and CSCW require multicasting. Multicast routing methods can be divided into two categories. One is the shortest path tree method and the other is the minimal Steiner tree method. The latter has an advantage over the former in that only one Steiner tree is needed for a group. However, finding a minimal Steiner tree is an NP-complete problem and it is necessary to find an efficient heuristic algorithm. In this paper, we present an evolutionary optimization method for finding minimal Steiner trees without sacrificing too much computational efforts. In particular, we describe a tree-based genetic encoding scheme which is in sharp constast with binary string representations usually adopted in convetional genetic algorithms. Experiments have been performed to show that the presented method can find optimal Steiner trees for given vetwork configurations. Comparitivie studies have shown that the evolutionary method finds on average a better solution than other conventional heustric algorithms.
