— This paper is about high capacity switches and routers that give guaranteed throughput, rate and delay guarantees. Many routers are built using input queueing or combined input...
Buffered crossbar switches are a special type of combined input-output queued switches with each crosspoint of the crossbar having small on-chip buffers. The introduction of cross...
– Crossbar-based switches are commonly used to implement routers with throughputs up to about 1 Tb/s. The advent of crossbar scheduling algorithms that provide strong performance...
The crossbar fabric is widely used as the interconnect of high-performance packet switches due to its low cost and scalability. There are two main variants of the crossbar fabric:...
Scalability considerations drive the switch fabric design to evolve from output queueing to input queueing and further to combined input and crosspoint queueing (CICQ). However, f...
