Abstract
A description is given of a data processing network that is constructed as a product network of two or more factor networks. At least one of the factor networks is a chordal ring of at least five stations, or a generalized chordal ring. A generalized chordal ring is formed by dividing each of the stations in a chordal ring (124, 130, 136) into a number of sub-stations. The sub-stations within a station constitute a homogeneous network. The external connections of a station are divided over the relevant sub-stations. In this way an optimum value for the degree (G) and diameter (D) of the network can be chosen on the basis of a selection strategy.
