緊湊路由問題主要探討的是路由表及拉伸之間的權衡。在此，拉伸代表實際選擇的路徑以及最短路徑的比值。至今的研究顯示，在 $N$ 個節點的網路中，使用 $O(N)$ 的大小來建構路由表可達到3倍拉伸的結果。在這篇論文中，我們提出了一個新的方法能夠達到2倍拉伸的效果。我們的實驗結果顯示，我們只用少量的空間來建構路由表，並-在平均拉伸以及標記點的附載平衡上有良好的效果。

Compact routing addresses the tradeoff between routing state and stretch, where stretch is the ratio between the hop counts of the selected path and that of the optimal path. Recent advances in compact routing protocol show that a stretch of 3 can be achieved while maintaining $O(\sqrt{N})$ routing state per node in an $N$-node network. In this thesis, we present a new routing protocol that achieves a worst-case stretch of 2. Simulations show that our algorithm only requires small amounts of routing state, and we have good performance in the average routing stretch and the load balance of landmarks.
