The Internet growth coupled with the variety of its services is creating an increasing need for multicast traffic support by backbone routers and packet switches. Recently, buffere...
— 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 s...
This paper considers the problem of packet-mode scheduling of input queuedswitches. Packets have variable lengths, and are divided into cells of unit length. Each packet arrives t...
—It has been studied extensively in the literature how one achieves exact emulation of First In First Out (FIFO) multiplexers for fixed size cells (or packets) using optical cro...
