Abstract :
We investigate experimentally several routing algorithms for asynchronous deflection networks, i.e., ones that operate in an unslotted manner. We determine the impact of an extra input buffer space on the quality of routing decisions. Finally, we compare the performance of asynchronous and synchronous deflection networks
