It is desirable to have low diameter logical topologies for multihop lightwave networks. Researchers have investigated regular topologies for such networks. Only a few of these (e.g., GEMNET) are scalable to allow the addition of new nodes to an existing network. Adding new nodes to such networks requires a major change in routing scheme. For example, in a multistar implementation, a large number of retuning of transmitters and receivers and/or renumbering nodes are needed for [8]. In this paper, we present a scalable logical topology which is not regular but it has a low diameter. This topology is interesting since it allows the network to be expanded indefinitely and new nodes can be added with a relatively small change to the network. In this paper we have presented the new topology, an algorithm to add nodes to the network and two routing schemes.
