Abstract: In this letter, we propose a new routing strategy with a single free parameter alpha only based on local information of network topology. In order to maximize the packets handling capacity of underlying structure that can be measured by the critical point of continuous phase transition from free flow to congestion, the optimal value of alpha is sought out. By investigating the distributions of queue length on each node in free state, we give an explanation why the delivering capacity of the network can be enhanced by choosing the optimal alpha. Furthermore, dynamic properties right after the critical point are also studied. Interestingly, it is found that although the system enters the congestion state, it still possesses partial delivering capability which do not depend on alpha. This phenomenon suggests that the capacity of the network can be enhanced by increasing the forwarding ability of small important nodes which bear severe congestion.
