Abstract:

In this paper, we prove that there exists a schedule for routing any set of packets with edge-simple paths, on any network, in tex2html_wrap_inline876 steps, where c is the congestion of the paths in the network, and d is the length of the longest path. The result has applications to packet routing in parallel machines, network emulations, and job-shop scheduling.
