A Study on New Cell Switch Fabric for Increasing the Performance of ATM Switching Systems

ATM 교환 시스템의 성능향상을 위한 새로운 셀 스위치 구조 연구

In this paper, we propose a new cell switch fabric for increasing the performance of ATM switching systems. Proposed switching network consists of a sorting network and a routing network. Both of these are multistage networks where each stage performs a fixed permutation on the incoming lines, and then routes them through a clumn of 2x2 switching elements. It is designed for distributing inputs and parallel processing to reduce the hardware complexity and obtain high performance of switching network. The structure and the operation of th eswitching network aredescribed and the performanceof the switching network is anlyzed under uniform traffic models. In this result, though the size of proposed network is increased the large scale, it has always the same throughput as the that of genral output queueing system with N=2. So, it is found that our proposed network is appropriate for the high apeed and lrger size of ATM switching systems.
