The crossbar fabric is widely used as the interconnect of high-performance packet switches due to its low cost and scalability. There are two main variants of the crossbar fabric:...
—AWG-based optical switching fabrics are affected by coherent crosstalk, that can significantly impair system operation when the same wavelength is used simultaneously on severa...
—A novel architecture was proposed in [1] to address scalability issues in large, high speed packet switches. The architecture proposed in [1], namely OBIG (output buffers with i...

We consider a slotted input-queued switch with a crossbar-like switching fabric. In each time-slot, a centralized scheduler determines a switching fabric configuration to transfer ...
Routers built around a single-stage crossbar and a centralized scheduler do not scale, and (in practice) do not provide the throughput guarantees that network operators need to ma...
