Abstract

As a first step in the investigation of communications networks with automatic alternate routing, a computer simulation has been prepared which is capable of being applied to a large class of networks. The simulator has been used to examine the behavior of networks under normal and abnormal conditions of load. Several criteria are introduced and used to evaluate the relative performance of different networks, leading to conclusions regarding the merits of certain alternate routing procedures.
