NoC (Network on Chip) is a promising technology for the interconnection network. Performance of an interconnection network depends on the routing logic. We explore the state of art of the existing routing algorithms for mesh connected network. In this paper we have tried to model the distance routing for mesh connect NoC network. The performance of the distance routing is compared with that of the dimension order and odd-even routing algorithms. Experimental analysis on synthetic traffic shows that our proposed distance routing outperforms the state of the art of routing algorithms by increased link utilization fairness. © 2006-2015 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
