Abstract
The knockout switch is a nonblocking, high-performance switch suitable for broadband packet switching. It allows packet losses, but the probability of a packet loss can be kept extremely small in a cost-effective way. The performance of the knockout switch was analyzed under uniform traffic. In this paper, we present a new, more general analytic model of the knockout switch, which enables us to evaluate the knockout switch under nonuniform traffic. The new model also incorporates the effects of a concentrator and a shared buffer on the packet loss probability. Numerical results for nonuniform traffic patterns of interest are presented. >
