This paper generalizes a theory for deadlock-free adaptive wormhole routing by considering a mixed set of resources: edge and central buffers. This generalized theory is then applied to a concurrent version of Disha deadlock-recovery which relaxes the sequential recovery requirement for simultaneous recovery from deadlocks. The proposed extension to Disha does not necessitate any additional resource cost; rather it serves to eliminate the requirement of mutual exclusive access to the deadlock-free lane implemented by a Token. With this extension, Disha Concurrent remains applicable to any topology with a Hamiltonian path including k-ary n-cube networks and is also applicable to tree-based networks.
