Abstract	Routerless networks on chip (NoCs) were recently introduced as an alternative to traditional mesh-based scalable networks, promising improved performance and scalability with a large decrease in power and area usage by the elimination of routing on in-flight packets. Without mitigation, most network designs, including routerless, are susceptible to loss of function or total failure through livelock, starvation, and deadlocks under certain conditions. In this work, I demonstrate the inadequacy of existing proposed mitigation schemes and propose revised schemes through careful theoretical treatment of the problem of network abnormalities. This revised design requires fewer physical resources than the existing design, yet outperforms it under simulated benchmarks. The revised network design achieves higher throughput and lower latency at all injection rates, and can sustain higher injection rates before saturation.
