            Abstract : 
In this paper we present a theory of interconnecting communication networks which have the appearance of overlapping tessellations. We have derived the bandwidth requirements for two types of networks-the linear spanning and the inclusive spanning. The efficacy of one network as compared to the other is measured by the additional switching requirements for various spanning doctrines.
