Average distance and all-to-all scatter in Kautz networks

Petr Salinger and Pavel Tvrdik

Abstract
This paper presents two results on structural and communicationproperties of Kautz networks.First, we give tight upper and lower bounds on the average distance ofKautz (di)graphs. Second, we describe an algorithm forall-to-all scatter in noncombining all-port store-&-forwardKautz networks. The algorithm is memory-optimal and asymptoticallytime- and transmission-optimal. The difference between the time ofthe algorithm and the lower bound is less than five percent for d>=5,where d is the size of the alphabet of Kautz strings.
