The most time critical part in packet forwarding is the route lookup which determines the next hop address of the packet. The problem of searching for routes in large databases is compounded by the fact that routing tables store variable length prefixes and their corresponding next hop addresses. In order to forward a packet, routers need to find the longest matching prefix for the destination ...

Coupling capacitance has substantial impact on signal delays and arrival times. It is not always correct to de-couple them using the Miller Factors of 0 or 2X. Towards this end various de-coupling techniques have been studied in literature. We extend them and suggest their use in static timing analysis. Our approach uses the Switching Factor based de-coupling approximation idea to compute impac...

Database Switching includes execution of queries on same or different machines connected in LAN with different backend without rewriting any queries. Switching between the databases reduces the work of rewriting the queries for each of the database thus saving time. User just has to select the Source DBMS and Table from that DBMS and a switch file is created on a click of a button. Now this swi...

The record should include the number of keys using the m-bit mapping within a particular RAM so that if the last key using it is removed, the mapping within the RAM can be replaced by the NIC. Also, if a new key is added to the lookup table and the corresponding entry in RAM i is the m-bit NIC, a regular (non-NIC) m-bit mapping can be chosen from those that are unused in RAM i (if one is availa...

This paper discusses optical-label switching and an experimental demonstration of high-speed all-optical packet switching with all-optical label-swapping capabilities. The subcarrier optical-label content was optically extracted and compared against the forwarding table, which induced packet forwarding as well as label-swapping decisions. The alloptical label processing technique was immune fro...

The crossbar is the fastest switching architecture available but is the most expensive in terms of hardware cost. The hardware complexity of a crossbar is θ (nw), where n is the number of processors and w is the width of the data path. The reduced crossbar is a new type of switching architecture, which reduces the hardware complexity of a traditional crossbar by a factor of k, where k is the re...

Based on Generalized switchingcell approach, a generalized state-plane analysis for families of soft-switching dc-to-dc converters will be presented. It is shown the analysis of soft-switching dc-to-dc converter families can be analyzed in terms of simple two-dimensional state-plane diagram. Complete generalized design equations will also be given. It will be shown that one generalized transfor...

Genetic programming provides a useful paradigm for developing multiagent systems in the domains where human programming alone is not sufficient to take into account all the details of possible situations. However, existing GP methods attempt to evolve collective behavior immediately from primitive actions. More realistic tasks require several emergent behaviors and a proper coordination of thes...
