—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...
—In the past years, electronic routers have had trouble keeping up with the increase in optical fiber capacity. As their power consumption has grown exponentially and already ex...
Architectural designs for routers and networks of routers to support mobile communication are analysed for their end-to-end performance using a simple Markov model. In view of the...
Memory bandwidth is frequently a limiting factor in the design of high-speed switches and routers. In this paper, we introduce a buffering scheme called ping-pong buffering, that ...
This work considers switching fabrics with distributed packet routing to achieve high scalability and low costs. The considered switching fabrics are based on a multistage structu...
