In this paper, we give two linear time algorithms for node-to-node fault tolerant routing problem in n-dimensional hypercubes Hn and star graphs Gn. The first algorithm, given at most n−1 arbitrary fault nodes and two non-fault nodes s and t in Hn, finds a fault-free path s→t of length at most [Formula: see text] in O(n) time, where d(s, t) is the distance between s and t. Our second algorithm, given at most n−2 fault nodes and two non-fault nodes s and t in Gn, finds a fault-free path s→t of length at most d(Gn)+3 in O(n) time, where [Formula: see text] is the diameter of Gn. When the time efficiency of finding the routing path is more important than the length of the path, the algorithms in this paper are better than the previous ones.
