Cell-Level Path Allocation in a Three-Stage ATM Switch
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method of cell-level path allocation for three-stage ATM switches has recently been proposed by the authors. The performance of ATM switches using this path allocation algorithm has been evaluated by simulation, and is described here. Both uniform and non-uniform models of output loading are considered. The algorithm requires knowledge of the number of cells requesting each output module from a given input module. A fast method for counting the number of requests is described.

High-Speed Cell-Level Path Allocation in a Three-Stage ATM Switch
Path allocation in a three-stage ATM switch is the process whereby bandwidth is reserved through the second stage of the switch for each cell. Cell-level path allocation, performed once in every time slot, ensures that cells are routed through the second stage of the switch without delay or contention. A new algorithm for cell-level path allocation was recently proposed by the author. The motiv...
متن کاملA three-stage ATM switch with cell-level path allocation
A method is described for performing routing in three-stage ATM switches which feature multiple channels between the switch modules in adjacent stages. The method is suited to hardware implementation using parallelism to achieve a very short execution time. This allows cell-level routing to be performed, whereby routes are updated in each time slot. The algorithm allows a contention-free routin...

متن کاملATM Input - Buffered
| There is considerable interest in the provision of guaranteed-rate services for IP and ATM networks. Simultaneously , bandwidth demands make input-buuered architectures attractive, and in some cases, necessary. In this paper, we consider the problem of how to support guaranteed-rate services in a single-stage, input-buuered switch suitable for a LAN switch, an ATM switch or an IP router. Such...
