  • Patent number: 5602839
    Abstract: In a multinode communication or multiprocessor network, messages are communicated from one node to another using an adaptive and dynamic routing scheme. The routing scheme includes two-level multi-path routing tables at each node to ensure efficient delivery of the messages. An entry in the level-1 table identifies a group of nodes and entry in the level-2 table identifies the address for each node within that group. The routing scheme also includes a deflection counter in each message header to avoid endless rerouting of messages and an exponential backoff and retry policy to avoid deadlocks.
