W e introduce a class of graphs which are variants of the hypercube graph. M a n y of the properties of this class of graphs are similar to that of the hypercube hence, we refer to t h e m as the class of Hypercube-Like (HL) graphs/networks. W e show that the hypercube, the twisted n-cube [l]and the multiply-twisted cube [2] are members of this class of graphs. W e also propose simple strategies f o r distributed muting and broadcast and discuss some issues regarding embedding other graphs and reconfiguration in such networks.
