Abstract
Each specific DCN topology requires the design of suitable routing techniques to accommodate the unique structure and properties of the topology. In this chapter we introduce some of these techniques for the topologies we discussed in previous chapters, and give a comparison on these techniques from various perspectives.

Al-Fares et al. [1] refer to the nodes as switches even though packet forwarding action is at the IP layer; the term router is more appropriate.
