Abstract

A switching network that approaches a maximum throughput of 100% as buffering is increased is proposed. This self-routing switching network consists of simple 2*2 switching elements, distributors, and buffers located between stages and in the output ports. The proposed switching requires a speedup factor of two. The structure and the operation of the switching network are described, and its performance is analyzed. The switch has log/sub 2/N stages that move packets in a store-and-forward fashion, incurring a latency of log/sub 2/N time periods. The performance analysis of the switch under uniform traffic pattern shows that the additional delay is small, and a maximum throughput of 100% is achieved as buffering is increased.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
