— We consider cell-based switch architectures in which the speedup of the internal switching fabric is not large enough to avoid input buffering. These architectures require a sc...

— In this paper, we present the architectural design of optical burst-buffers that can truly emulate input queuing and accommodate asynchronous burst operation. The architectural...

Most high-end switches use an input-queued or a combined input- and output-queued architecture. The switch fabrics of these architectures commonly use an iterative scheduling syst...
— The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued swit...
Abstract—This paper calls for rethinking packet-switch architectures by cutting all dependencies between the switch fabric and the linecards. Most single-stage packet-switch arch...
