—The scalability and performance of the Internet depends critically on the performance of its packet switches. Current packet switches are based on single-hop crossbar fabrics, w...
— Buffered crossbar (CICQ) switches have shown a high potential in scaling Internet routers capacity. However, they require expensive on-chip buffers whose cost grows quadratical...
Abstract—Input buffered switch architecture has become attractive for implementing high performance routers and expanding use of the Internet sees an increasing need for quality ...
Routers built around a single-stage crossbar and a centralized scheduler do not scale, and (in practice) do not provide the throughput guarantees that network operators need to ma...

In this paper, we propose a new internally buffered crossbar (IBC) switching architecture where the input and output distributed schedulers are embedded inside the crossbar fabric...
