An increasing number of high performance internetworking protocol routers, LAN and
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches use a switched backplane based on a crossbar …

The Internet is facing two problems simultaneously: there is a need for a faster
switching/routing infrastructure and a need to introduce guaranteed qualities-of-service …

By focusing on the convergence of the telephone, computer networking, cable TV, and
wireless industries, this fully revised second edition explains current and emerging …

In this paper we use fluid model techniques to establish two results concerning the
throughput of data switches. For an input-queued switch (with no speedup) we show that a …

Architectures based on a non-blocking fabric, such as a crosspoint switch, are attractive for
use in high-speed LAN switches, IP routers, and ATM switches. When operating at the …

Large input-output buffering with a moderate speedup has been widely considered as the
most feasible solution for large-capacity switches. We propose a new terabit per second …

This paper describes the architecture for a work-conserving server using a combined I/O-
buffered crossbar switch. The switch employs a novel algorithm based on output occupancy …

Combined input-output queueing switches (CIOQ) have better scaling properties than output
queueing (OQ) switches. However, a CIOQ switch may have lower switch throughput and …

The authors propose a single way to dramatically improve the performance of input-queued
ATM packet switches beyond the 82% saturation point obtained in previous work. The …

Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology is discussed in relation to the requirements
of corporate networking. An introduction to ATM switch architecture is presented. The …
