%X While special chips for message transfer in
   multi\-transputer machines do not yet exist, there are
   several software solutions which may be used. Dynamic link
   reconfiguration is fastest but requires additional switching
   hardware and a sophisticated common bus to control requests
   from all network nodes. Through\-routing of messages via the
   network is slower but the method is applicable to any
   transputer network. This paper makes a comparison between
   two through\-routing solutions for distributed message
   passing and shows how the parameters of a software
   implementation influence the communication throughput.
   Several conclusions about the improvement of particular
   through\-routing software are made and the results of the
   experimental performance evaluation under different
   conditions are given.
