Nostrum • Developed at KTH in Stockholm • Direct network with a 2-D mesh topology • SAF switching with hot potato (or deflective) routing • Support for • switch/router load distribution • guaranteed bandwidth (GB) • multicasting • GB is realized using looped containers • implemented by VCs using a TDM mechanism • container is a special type of packet which loops around VC • multicast: simply have container loop around on VC having recipients • Switch load distribution requires each switch to indicate its current load by sending a stress value to its neighbors
Octagon • Developed by STMicroelectronics • direct network with an octagonal topology • 8 nodes and 12 bidirectional links • Any node can reach any other node with a max of 2 hops • Can operate in packet switched or circuit switched mode • Nodes route a packet in packet switched mode according to its destination field • node calculates a relative address and then packet is routed either left, right, across, or into the node • Can be scaled if more than 8 nodes are required • Spidergon

Nostrum<br />
• Developed at KTH in Stockholm<br />
• Direct network with a 2-D mesh topology<br />
• SAF switching with hot potato (or deflective) routing<br />
• Support for<br />
• switch/router load distribution<br />
• guaranteed bandwidth (GB)<br />
• multicasting<br />
• GB is realized using looped containers<br />
• implemented by VCs using a TDM mechanism<br />
• container is a special type of packet which loops around VC<br />
• multicast: simply have container loop around on VC having recipients<br />
• Switch load distribution requires each switch to indicate its<br />
current load by sending a stress value to its neighbors
