<p>A partially interconnected networks has a plurality of Allocated Nodes, which Allocated Nodes are each allocated to one of a number of AREAs, and further has a plurality of Star Nodes (STARs), and also has point to point interconnections between the Allocated Nodes and the Star Nodes, where the number of AREAs with Allocated Nodes connected to an individual STAR forms the number of ROUTEs from an individual STAR, the Allocated Nodes of a first of the AREAs being connected to a set comprising some, but not all, of the Star Nodes, and further of the AREAs are similarly interconnected to further sets each comprising Star Nodes and there is at least one connection choice between any two Allocated Nodes in different AREAs and where a connection route is two point-to-point interconnections connected in series by a Star Node.</p> |
