We define a graph as orbital regular if there is a subgroup of its automorphism group that acts regularly on the set of edges of the graph as well as on all its orbits of ordered pairs of distinct vertices of the graph. For these graphs there is an explicit formula for the edgeforwarding index, an important traffic parameter for routing in interconnection networks. Using the arithmetic properties of finite fields we construct infinite families of graphs with low edge-forwarding properties.
