Abstract

A switch model for ATM networks is analyzed. Its interconnection network is internally nonblocking and is provided with dedicated input and output queues, one per switch inlet and one per switch outlet. The switch operates with an internal speed-up: more than one packet per slot can be transferred from the head-of-line positions of the input queues to each output queue by the interconnection network. Two different operation modes are considered for the interaction between input and output queues: backpressure mode and queue loss mode. The analytical model developed for the evaluation of the switch performance under random traffic assumes an infinite size for the switch, arbitrary values for input and output queue size, as well as for the speed-up factor. Switch throughput, packet delay and loss performance are evaluated and the analytical model accuracy is assessed using computer simulation results.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
