—To avoid head of line blocking in switches, Virtual Output Queues (VOQs) are commonly used. However, the number of VOQs grows quadratically with the number of ports, making this...
Abstract—This paper presents a novel scalable switching architecture for input queued switches with its proper arbitration algorithms. In contrast to traditional switching archit...
A multi-cabinet implementation of a combined input and crosspoint queued (CICQ) switch introduces a large RTT latency between the line cards and switch fabric, requiring a large cr...
We present the architecture and practical VLSI implementation of a 4-Tb/s single-stage switch. It is based on a combined input- and crosspoint-queued structure with virtual output...
As buffer-less crossbar scheduling algorithms reach their practical limitations due to higher port numbers and data rates, internally buffered crossbar (IBC) switches have gained ...
