Two fundamental considerations in the design of a communication network are reliability and maximum transmission delay. In this paper we give an algorithm for construction of an undirected graph with n vertices in which there are k node‐disjoint paths between any two nodes. The generated graphs will have a minimum number of edges and a diameter which is twice as large as the theoretical minimum. The algorithm is useful for the construction of large networks because it has a time complexity of O(n 2 ) .
