2Face: A Performance Evaluation

Thomas Clouser
(Doctoral Student Presentation)



We provide an experimental evaluation of 2Face. 2Face is the first face routing algorithm that concurrently explores multiple faces and explores each face in both directions simultaneously. Through simulation, we find that 2Face reduces path stretch, resulting in shorter routes compared to other prominent face routing algorithms. We obtain similar results when we employ 2Face as a recovery strategy for the local minimum problem of greedy routing.
