Loop concatenation and loop replication to improve Blazelan performance

Blazelan is an extended bus local-area network that provides high-throughput low-latency communication and can be used for distributed and parallel processing systems. The basic network design and operation are presented, and two techniques are introduced to increase the network capacity: loop concatenation and loop replication. It is shown that with the two techniques, the Blazelan capacity approaches that of the output queuing system
