In this paper, we proposed two different path-length algorithms and routing-tag algorithm for fault-tolerant hybrid irregular multi-stage interconnection networks (MINs) called as Hybrid Zeta Networks-2 (HZTN) [1,2,3]. In HZTN, 50% of requests are accepted at minimum path-length of 2 in contrast with the regular Augmented Shuffle-Exchange Network (ASEN) [4], Extra-stage Cube Network (ESC) [5], Augmented Baseline Network (ABN) [6], and Benes Network (BN) [7]. They all are having constant path length on all the routes, which makes delay encountered to the same delay along all the paths, thus increasing average latency. Furthermore, the fault-tolerance and reparability of HZTN is evaluated. In addition to this adaptive fault-tolerant routing algorithm for the same have been proposed. This adaptive fault-tolerant routing is provided by exploiting the inherent redundancy of the irregular topology, which does not lead to blocking of request.
