title = "Load balancing properties of networks",
abstract = "The authors investigate load balancing properties of various existing networks using the concept of load balancing graphs. In particular, they present load balancing properties for butterfly, three-dimensional mesh, pyramid, and cube connected cycle networks. They show that in these networks it is difficult to re-distribute the load in case of a node failure. This is due to the fact that the communication distance between nodes that replace a failed node is quite large. This result emphasizes the need to develop new fault tolerant networks with better load balancing properties.",
