The parallel packet switch (PPS) extends the inverse multiplexing architecture, and is extensively used as the core of contemporary commercial switches. A key factor in the perfor...
Modern routers and switch fabrics can have hundreds of input and output ports running at up to 10 Gb/s; 40 Gb/s systems are starting to appear. At these rates, the performance of ...

— We consider cell-based switch architectures, whose internal switching matrix does not provide enough speed to avoid input buffering. These architectures require a scheduling al...

— 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...
