Fixed Versus Variable Packet Sizes in Fast Packet-Switched Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate various performance measures of interest, when comparing fast packetswitched networks that operate with either fixed or variable packet sizes. These performance measures include queue length distribution, packet loss probability, as well as user frame loss probability. The focus of the paper is on identifying key parameters that influence the outcome of this comparison, and on quantdjing the potential benefits of each approach.

Fixed-Length Packets versus Variable-Length Packets in Fast Packet Switching Networks
Fast Packet Switching (FPS) networks are designed to carry many kinds of traac, including voice, video, and data. In this paper, we evaluate one design parameter of FPS networks: whether the packets should be xed-length or variable-length. We consider three measures of performance: user frame loss rates, average latency, and eeective bandwidth.
متن کاملBasic Characteristics of FIFO Packet Switches
In this paper we compare characteristics of different FIFO packet switch types. In accordance with our expectations, the best results are obtained by using the output-queued packet switches. The main drawback of these switches is the need for a fast switching fabric. This can be avoided by using the input-queued packet switches, whose performance depends upon individual packet sizes. Characteri...

متن کاملAn optical data rate conversion method for high-speed packed-switched photonic networks
Optical packet compression/expansion allows an ultra-fast media access in packet-switched optical networks. A novel optical packet rate-conversion scheme enabling simultaneous compression/expansion and serial-to-parallel conversion of large optical packets is proposed and investigated. Thereby the rate-conversion time is reduced.
