The design of a scalable logical topology for reliable optical communication is discussed. The new topology has a very simple structure and is associated with a simple routing scheme supporting a large number of nodes with small nodal degree and small diameter. The presence of multiple number of paths between any two nodes in exchange of reasonable number of hops in the network, ensures a higher degree of reliability compared to other existing topologies in case of link failure as well as in balancing link loading in the network.
