Multiple Input - Queueing

His current research interests are in the areas of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and high-speed networks and in particular of ATM switching. Mr. Kolias is a student member of the IEEE. 12 A and B have ultimately the same eeect, in terms of throughput, and under a saturation situation; so our remarks in the previous subsection are reinforced here. 4 CONCLUSION It is apparent that buuering (location, size, contention resolution) in an ATM switching system is of great importance to the switch designer, in terms of complexity, eeciency and certainly cost (i.e. hardware implementation). In this paper we were concerned with the performance eeciency of input-buuered switches, acknowledging that the other factors are signiicant too. In that respect, we studied various schemes using multiple input-queueing as their buuering strategy by analyzing their performance in terms of throughput and demonstrated how throughput can be improved. performance evaluation and design of many kinds of networks (e.g. packet switching networks, packet radio networks, local area networks, metropolitan area networks, broadband and gigabit networks) and of parallel and distributed systems.
