Traditionally, conflict resolution in an input-buffered switch is solved by finding a matching
between inputs and outputs per time slot, which incurs unscalable computation and …

Load-balanced switches have received a great deal of attention recently as they are much
more scalable than other existing switch architectures in the literature. However, as there …

Network operators need high-capacity router architectures that can offer scalability, provide
throughput guarantees, and maintain packet ordering. However, current centralized …

The load-balanced (LB) switch proposed by CS Chang et al. consists of two stages. First, a
load-balancing stage converts arriving packets into uniform traffic. Then, a forwarding stage …

The feedback-based two-stage switch is scalable as it is configured by a predetermined and
periodic joint sequence of configurations (Hu and Yeung, 2010). Its major problem is that the …

A novel feedback mechanism is proposed in this paper to enhance the performance of load-
balanced two-stage switches. The key idea is to properly select and coordinate the two …

Recently the Birkhoff-von Neumann load-balanced (LB) switch has become a promising
switch design due to its high scalability properties and simple control. The performance of …

The scale-invariant burstiness or self-similarity has been found in real network and has been
subject to the file size of Web servers or the duration of user sessions. In addition, self …

Due to the recent advances in optical transmission technologies, the transmission speed of
optical links is much faster than the switching speed of current electronic Internet routers …

An N times N feedback-based two-stage switch is configured using a pre-determined and
periodic joint sequence of N joint configurations. The joint sequence used is characterized …
