Abstract
Network designing often involves two significant yet contradictive objectives: enhancing the whole network’s transmission efficiency while at the same time lowering the whole network’s designing cost. Deep study of the interplay between major aspects of network planning– network topology, routing algorithm and node’s transmission capability configuration–reveals that good tradeoff can be achieved between these two objectives. By properly combining network topology, routing algorithm and node capability configuration scheme, the network can achieve desirable transmission efficiency at very low cost. This discovery will undoubtedly provide insight into the next generation data network designing.
