چکیده
Performance of ATM networks will depend on switch performance and architecture. In this paper a set of eleven questions is presented in order to be able to study the performance. It is necessary to clearly identify the main characteristics of the switch architecture and the traffic that are considered. They concern the level of study, the placement of the memory, the monopath or multipath architecture, the uniformity of input traffic, the destination hypotheses, the routing rules inside the switch, the eventual resequencing... In case of cell level study and output buffers, the answers to the six main questions lead to a tree including 14 realistic switch and traffic types. A survey of the modelling method for these cases is then presented. A few results are given in some of the realistic cases and some general conclusions appear to be pertinent: importance of traffic dissymetry, best performance for multipath switches, use of path reservations inside the switch. Key-words : A.T.M, switches, interconnection networks, analytic models, bursty traffic, finite capacity queue, performance evaluation. Résumé Les performances des réseaux ATM dépendront des architectures et des performances des commutateurs retenus. Dans cet article, onze questions sont posées pour caractériser les modèles de commutateurs : elles portent essentiellement sur l'architecture et le fonctionnement du commutateur étudié ainsi que sur les hypothèses de trafic retenues. Elles concernent le niveau d'étude, le placement des mémoires, la structure du réseau d'interconnexion, l'uniformité du trafic d'entrée, le choix des sorties, le routage à l'intérieur du commutateur, la nécessité éventuelle de reséquencer les cellules ... Dans le cas d'études au niveau des cellules et de files d'attente en sortie des éléments de commutation, les réponses aux six principales questions conduisent à un arbre correspondant à quatorze exemples réalistes de commutateurs et de type de trafic. Nous présentons alors une synthèse des méthodes de modélisation relatives à ces différents cas. Pour certains d'entre eux, nous donnerons des résultats numériques. Nous tirons alors un certain nombre d'enseignements généraux portant en particulier sur l'importance de la dissymétrie du trafic, l'intérêt des réseaux multi-chemins, l'utilisation de réservation de chemin dans le commutateur. Mots-Clés : Réseaux ATM, Commutateurs, Réseaux d'interconnexion, Modèles Analytiques, Trafic sporadique, Files d'attente à capacité limitée, Evaluation de performances. * this work was partly supported by a CNET grant -2

CMOS switches are one of the main components of today's analog circuits. Among the many types of non-idealities that can affect the performance of the switch, its leakage current is of utmost importance. In order to reduce the leakage current or equally increase the OFF resistance of any switch, a novel technique is presented in this paper. The proposed technique employs the body effect to incr...
