Abstract
We address the problem of constructing large circulant networks with given degree and diameter, and efficient routing schemes. First we discuss the theoretical upper bounds and their asymptotics. Then we apply concepts and tools from the change-making problem to efficient routing in circulant graphs. With these tools we investigate some of the families of circulant graphs that have been proposed in the literature, and we construct tables of large circulant graphs and digraphs with efficient routing properties.

Code Availability
For the computational results summarized in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4, the authors have created some standalone functions in the language R, in conjunction with the igraph library. These functions are not completely automated, and they are not organized as a package, but they can still be made available to other researchers upon request.
Notes
We have modified the original formulation of these families slightly.
Also called normal, or totally orderly.
