Interconnection networks for broadband packet switching

Performance Analysis of Packet Switching Interconnection Networks with Finite Buffers

In this paper, a mathematical method for analysis of synchronous packet-switching interconnection networks with jinite buffering capacity at the output of switching elements is presented. The proposed mathematical method is general in that it analyzed interconnection networks under uniform and nonuniform traflc with blocking. The existing methods for analysis of buffered interconnection network...

Nonblocking Networks for Fast Packet Switching

We de ne and study an extension of the classical theory of nonblocking networks that is applicable to multirate circuit and fast packet ATM switching sys tems We determine conditions under which the Clos Cantor and Bene s networks are strictly nonblocking We also determine conditions under which the Bene s network and variants of the Cantor and Clos networks are rearrangeable We nd that strictl...

Generalized Load Sharing for Packet-Switching Networks

In this paper; we propose a framework to study how to effectively perform load sharing in multipath coinnumication networks. A generalized load sharing (GLS) model has been developed to conceptualize how trafic is split ideally on a set of active paths. A simple trafic splitting algorithm, called weighted fair routing ( WFR), has been developed at two different granularity levels, namely, the p...
