Abstract
A network architecture for configuring nodes and links into a plurality of interconnected hypercubes is presented. Each hypercube is interconnected with at least one other hypercube and operates substantially independently of the other hypercubes in the network. Each hypercube provides high levels of traffic routing diversity and restorative capability with less link capacity. Unique node labeling reduces inter-nodal communication, and traffic routing and recovery is accomplished with less complex algorithms.
