The Internet growth coupled with the variety of its services is creating an increasing need for multicast traffic support by backbone routers and packet switches. Recently, buffere...
As buffer-less crossbar scheduling algorithms reach their practical limitations due to higher port numbers and data rates, internally buffered crossbar (IBC) switches have gained ...

—The scalability and performance of the Internet depends critically on the performance of its packet switches. Current packet switches are based on single-hop crossbar fabrics, w...
To support the Internet's explosive growth and expansion into a true integrated services network, there is a need for cost-effective switching technologies that can simultaneo...
— Three-stage non-blocking switching fabrics are the next step in scaling current crossbar switches to many hundreds or few thousands of ports. Congestion (output contention) man...
