Designing ASICs for each new generation of backbone routers is a time intensive and fiscally draining process. In this paper we focus on the design of the Victory bidirectional ring network-on-chip (NoC) router, to be used as the building block of a NoC for multi-core processors. The router is a simple router that uses source routing, fixed-size 64-bit packets and a virtual cut-through style of switching. Additionally, it uses two virtual channels per physical channel to provide for
