Abstract :
Saturation routing means a flooding of a network with messages which search for a particular subscriber´s number without regard to where that subscriber is located in the network. Saturation routing, often thought of as inappropriate in a communication network, can be a useful routing scheme with the use of state-of-the-art design. In this paper, consideration will be spent on the kinds of networks in which saturation routing is applicable, and how it compares with other routing systems. The functional designs of saturation routing will be combined with the appropriate variables to create a mathematical model for performing of saturation routing in a network. The following are some of the variables: i) processor rate; ii) transmission data rate; iii) hierarchy; iv) queuing delays; v) traffic; vi) message size. The paper will be concluded with an example of a realistic network using saturation routing.
