Point-to-Point (P2P) and bus-based communication systems are NoCs and are two communication channels of NoC that can probably overcome the scalability and performance restrictions of NoC. Latency and throughput are two of the essential characteristic metrics measured for a routing algorithm that affect the performance of a given NoC. This study evaluated and compared static and dynamic routing algorithms Dijkstra and distance vector on the scale of increasing flit length and network traffic. In a network, considering the effects of topology, traffic, buffer, and packet size, the dynamic algorithm performs better than a static algorithm on the network's performance. Moreover, the effect of increased network traffic on throughput and average packet delay with the increase in network size in a fixed MS topology and distance vector routing protocol has been evaluated. The results show that while using the Dijkstra algorithm, the average packet delay reached 50-60 packets/cycle in comparison to the Distance Vector where it reached a maximum of 40 packets/cycle in 4 different topologies. Throughput is achieved up to 100% in both algorithms using various topologies. In only MS topology, throughput reached 100% but packet delay increased to 400 pkts/cycle with an increase in network size.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
