Abstract

This paper presents a technique for tuning Decnet networks so as to minimize the average end-to-end packet delay for the entire network. It represent an adaptation of theoretical work on network flows to the realistic case of Decnet. Using this technique to configure hypothetical networks, it then discusses the behaviour of the Decnet routing algorithm with respect to network size, topological connectivity and traffic configuration.
