Famous rule-of-thumb states that a buffer sized at B = RTT × BW, where RTT is the average round trip time and BW is the bandwidth of output link is necessary in order to achieve ...
This paper explores the design space of elastic buffer (EB) routers by evaluating three representative designs. We propose an enhanced two-stage EB router which maximizes through...
—With recent advances in optical technology, we are closer to building all-optical routers than ever before. A major problem in this area, however, is the lack of all-optical mem...
—With the emergence of on-chip networks, the power consumed by router buffers has become a primary concern. Bufferless flow control addresses this issue by removing router buffe...

Abstract-- This paper presents a fundamental result on buffer sizing. Given an interconnection wire with n buffers evenly spaced along the wire, we would like to size all buffers s...
