Abstract

In this paper, we consider hot-potato packet routing of one-to-one routing patterns on n-node trees. By applying a ‘charging argument’, we show that any greedy hot-potato algorithm routes a oneto-one routing pattern within 2(n � 1) steps. On the other hand, a trivial lower bound suggests that at least 3n/2 steps are required by any oblivious greedy algorithm. As the main contribution of the paper, we tighten the 2(n � 1) upper bound by constructing (for all sufficiently large n )a n elaborate one-to-one packet routing problem on an n-node tree for which an oblivious greedy hot
