Abstract
Deflection routing is an effective way to improve the efficiency and reliability of data transmission in the network. Information theory, which is the foundation of channel communications, has not yet had a direct impact on network communications. In this paper, we study the deflection routing processes of point-to-point networks from an information-theoretic perspective. It is found that the packet routing processes, which can further be divided into path determination and path switching, are quite analogous to channel communications. And such a corresponding relationship makes it possible to analyze routing processes and its performance with models and concepts in the information theory.
