While ATM bandwidth-reservation techniques are able to o er the guarantees necessary for the delivery of real-time streams in many applications (e.g. live audio and video), they s...
—Multimedia requirements of the 1990’s drove wired and optical network architects to reconsider the inefficiencies of packet switching and consider long proven methods such as...
Computer systems have become powerful enough to process continuous data streams such as video or animated graphics. While processing power and communication bandwidth of today...
As the Internet grows exponentially, scalable high performance routers and switches on backbone are required to provide a large number of ports, higher throughput, lower delay late...
— Buffered crossbar (CICQ) switches have shown a high potential in scaling Internet routers capacity. However, they require expensive on-chip buffers whose cost grows quadratical...
