We consider input-queued switch architectures dealing at their interfaces with variable-size packets, but internally operating on fixed-size cells. Packets are segmented into cells...

— The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued swit...
— High power dissipation in packet switches and routers is fast turning into a key problem, owing to increasing line speeds and decreasing chip sizes. To address this issue, we i...
