Abstract
Interconnection Scheme for NOW aims to provide a network of hosts (distributed computer system)
in which distributed computing can be performed. The distributed system akin to the Internet,
consists of a few or several hosta connected together by a logical interconnection network. Hosta
on the network are grouped into domains, and the domains are interconnected together to form
the network. Hosts in a domain are directly connected to every other host within that domain.
Within a domain, a single host acts aa a gateway host handling extra-domain messages. To provide
the distributed computer system, I implemented Interconnection Scheme with two main functions:
provide connectivity among the hosts in the network, and message routing capability between the
hosta.
