Various hypotheses exist about the paths used for communication between the nodes of complex networks. Most studies simply suppose that communication goes via shortest paths, while others have more explicit assumptions about how routing…

The recent line of research into topology design focuses on lowering network diameter. Many low-diameter topologies such as Slim Fly or Jellyfish that substantially reduce cost, power consumption, and latency have been proposed. A key…
