Abstract
Due to recent developments of parallel and distributed computing, the design and analysis of various interconnection networks has been a main topic of research for the past few years and is still stimulated by the new technologies of communication networks such as optic fibers. There are many advantages in using Cayley (di)graphs as models for interconnection networks. This work first surveys some classes of Cayley graphs which are well studied as models of interconnection networks. Results and problems related to routings in networks are then presented, with emphasis on loads of nodes and links in routings.
