Switch with large optical buffers (SLOB) for ATM traffic
ABSTRACT Recently, optical ATM switches, composed of optical switches, fiber delay lines and other devices, have been proposed by researchers world-wide as a way of overcoming the EMI, pinout and interconnection problems that would be encountered in future large electronic switch cores. Attaining the size of buffers (buffer depth) in optical ATM fabrics that would be required in practice is a m...

Recently, optical packet switch architectures, composed of devices such as optical switches, fiber delay lines, and passive couplers, have been proposed to overcome the electromagnetic interference (EMI), pinout and interconnection problems that would be encountered in future large electronic switch cores. However, attaining the buffer size (buffer depth) in optical packet switches required in ...
متن کاملDesign of a Weighted Fair Queueing Cell Scheduler for ATM Networks
Today, ATM networks are being used to carry bursty data traffic with large and highly variable rates, and burst sizes ranging from kilobytes to megabytes. Obtaining good statistical multiplexing performance for this kind of traffic requires much larger buffers than are needed for more predictable applications or for bursty data applications with more limited burst transmission rates. Large buff...
متن کاملPerformance of an ATM LAN switch with back-pressure function
Traffic control schemes for ATM networks can be classified into two categories: reactive congestion control and preventive congestion control. Reactive congestion controlcan be effective in ATM local area networks as well as preventive congestion control. A possible scheme to realize efficient reactive congestion control is a switch architecture, which possesses buffers on both sides of input a...
متن کاملResource Allocation and Delay Constraints in ATM networks
This article first reviews the architecture of a typical ATM switch and considers the problem of handling both continuous bit oriented and bursty traffic with low loss and delay requirements. We examine six different approaches to handling mixed traffic in an ATM switch, and compare their performance by means of simulation. A switch architecture which distinguishes between three traffic types w...
