ABSTRACT
We consider the problem of compact routing in weighted general undirected graphs, in which the goal is to construct local routing tables that allow information to be sent on short paths in the network. In this paper the first improvement to the work of Thorup and Zwick [SPAA'01] is presented. Specifically, we construct an improved routing scheme obtaining for every k routing tables of size Õ(n1/k log D), and stretch (4 -- α)k -- β for some absolute constants α, β > 0, where D is the normalized diameter. This provides a positive answer to a main open question in this area as to the existence of a routing scheme with stretch c • k for some constant c < 4.

Compact routing schemes
SPAA '01: Proceedings of the thirteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallel algorithms and architecturesWe describe several compact routing schemes for general weighted undirected networks. Our schemes are simple and easy to implement. The routing tables stored at the nodes of the network are all very small. The headers attached to the routed messages, ...
