A Study of Message Routing Within a Micro-Computer Network.

Abstract

The use of microcomputers in a message-switching network is introduced through a discussion of store-and-forward routing techniques. Algorithms that use both deterministic and stochastic principles are explained and those parameters which determine the computing machinery necessary are identified. INTEL Corporations MSC-8 micro-computing system is studied as a possible candidate for use in message-switching networks and some applications of these networks are discussed. A modification of a routing algorithm is offered, which makes the microcomputer useable in message-switching networks. (Author)
