Abstract A £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy, that £Û+h£Ý-link is chosen prior until it is not favourable, then £Û+1£Ý-link is chosen, is proposed. The shortest £Û+h£Ý-link prior path and the bamboo raft (a new kind of L-shaped Tile) for a double-loop network are obtained. There is inferring relationships among nodes in the bamboo raft. The diameter of a double-loop network can be derived from the shortest £Û+h£Ý-link prior path. VB6.0 and SQL Server2000 are selected to simulate the £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy. The £Û+1£Ý£Û+h£Ý routing strategy proposed by the authors is fixing path then seeking nodes, while the £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy is fixing nodes then seeking path. The traditional L-shaped Tile is difficult to be constructed but is easy to calculate the diameter of its equivalent double-loop network, while the new L-shaped Tile is easy to be constructed but is difficult to calculate the diameter of its equivalent double-loop network. Some mistakes in the paper published by Chen in 2001 are pointed out.

background Double loop networks have been widely used in the topological structure of computer interconnection networks and communication systems. Many researches focus on the following two problems: (1) constructing optimal double-loop networks G(N;1,h) and G(N;r,h), and (2) optimal routing algorithms for G(N;1,h) and G(N;r,h).
In the past five years, the authors have simulated the L-shaped Tile for G(N;1,h) and G(N;r,h). The authors have proposed £Û+1£Ý£Û+h£Ý routing strategy for directed double loop networks and undirected double loop networks.
This paper discusses a £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy, that £Û+h£Ý-link is chosen prior until it is not favourable, then £Û+1£Ý-link is chosen. The shortest £Û+h£Ý-link prior path and the bamboo raft (a new kind of L-shaped Tile) for a double-loop network are obtained. There is inferring relationships among nodes in the bamboo raft. The diameter of a double-loop network can be derived from the shortest £Û+h£Ý-link prior path. VB6.0 and SQL Server2000 are selected to simulate the £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy.
Chen Zhong-Xue discussed similar work like £Û+1£Ý-link prior routing strategy. Compared to £Û+1£Ý-link prior routing strategy, £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy is well understood and induces a new spatial model called bamboo raft (a new kind of L-shaped Tile).
The £Û+1£Ý£Û+h£Ý routing strategy proposed by the authors is fixing path then seeking nodes, while the £Û+h£Ý-link prior routing strategy is fixing nodes then seeking path. The traditional L-shaped Tile is difficult to be constructed but is easy to calculate the diameter of its equivalent double-loop network, while the new L-shaped Tile is easy to be constructed but is difficult to calculate the diameter of its equivalent double-loop network.
