%X An efficient communication system is an essential component
   of a transputer\-based parallel computer. In the last years
   many message routing systems for transputer networks have
   been developed. They allow data exchanging among processes
   mapped on transputers not directly connected. This paper
   surveys and compares some of these routing systems with
   respect to several criteria, such as deadlock freedom,
   adaptivity, network latency, livelock freedom, and
   generality.
