In this paper, we propose a new fault tolerant ATM Switch and a new adaptive self-routing scheme used to make the switch to be fault tolerant. It can provide more multiple paths than the related previous switches between an input/output pair of a switch by adding extra links between switching elements in the same stage and extending the self-routing scheme of the Banyan network. Our routing scheme is as simple as that of the banyan network, which is based on the topological relationships among the switching elements (SE’s) that render a packet to the same destination with the regular self-routing. These topological properties of the Banyan network are discovered in this paper. We present an algebraic proof to show the correctness of this scheme, and an analytic reliability analysis to provide quantitative comparisons with other switches, which shows that the new switch is more cost effective than the Banyan network and other augmented MIN’s in terms of the reliability.

In this paper, high-speed ,large-capacity ATM switching-chip is developed by MCM technology. MCM technology is suited for light-weight portable communications, mobile computing, high-frequency applications. For test of the developed MCM switching-chips, the simulating model is made by VHDL code of previously developed chip and input-output values of modeling pattern are obtained through the simulation. After the pattern values in chip-test machine are inserted , their results are compared with the simulation results. The design in this paper is simulated by synopsys design tool using SUN workstation and functions of chip is measured by TRILLIUM machine. Simulated and measured results have been compared, showing close agreement. Last, the MCM technique presented in this paper will provide useful insight into future designs.

The network-wide performance management is crucial for maintaining the quality of network services, which requires the collection and monitoring the performance data at individual network nodes. Most of the public networks, however, are composed of diverse, heterogeneous network nodes that are managed by various types of proprietary management systems with a conventional operator console and embedded management functions, which makes it difficult to implement the integrated performance management systems. Even though the developments of TMN (Telecommunication Management Network) based management systems are being attempted, the little work has been done in performance management area. In this paper, we propose the performance monitoring architecture for ATM switches using the 0₃ object model and describe how to implement the TMN-based performance prosy agent for ATM switching systems. The proposed performance proxy agent provides the TMN standard performance management interfaces by translating the proprietary performance management functions, which eventually leads to network-wide integrated performance management.

One of the important advantages of multichannel switches is the incorporation of inherent fault tolerance into the switching fabric. For example, if a link which belongs to the multichannel group fails, the remaining links can assume responsibility for some of the traffic on the failed link. On the other hand, if faults occur in the switching elements, it can lead to erroneous routing and sequencing in the multichannel switch. We investigate several fault localization algorithms in multichannel crossbar ATM switches with a view to early fault recovery, The optimal algorithm gives the best performance in terms of time to localization but is computationally complex which makes it difficult to implement. We develop an on-line algorithm which is computationally mote efficient than the optimal algorithm. We evaluate its performance through simulation. The simulation results show that performance of the on line algorithm is only slightly sub-optimal for both random and bursty traffic. Finally a fault recovery algorithm is described which utilizes the information provided by the fault localization algorithm.

In this paper, we present results of a study of congestion control for real-time communication based on ATM networks. In ATM networks, congestion usually results in cell loss. Based on the time limit and priority, the cells that compete for the same output line could be lined according to the character of real-time service. We adopt priority control algorithm for providing different QoS bearer services that can be implemented by using threshold methods at the ATM switching nodes, the cells of different deadline and priority could be deal with according to the necessity. Experiments show the proposed algorithm is effective in the congestion control of ATM real-time networks

The control system architecture in switching systems have undergone numerous changes to provide various call processing capability needed in telecommunication services. During call processing in a distributed switching control environment, the delay effect due to communication among main processors or peripheral controllers is one of the limiting factors which affect the system performance. In this paper, we propose a performance model for an IPC(Inter Processor Communication) interface hardware block which is required on the ATM cell-based message processing in a distributed ATM exchange system, and analyze the primary causes which affect the processor performance through the simulation. Consequently, It can be shown that the local CPU of the several components(resources) related to the IPC scheme is a bottleneck factor in achieving the maximum system performance from the simulation results, such as the utilization of each processing component according to the change of the input message rate, and the queue length and processing delay according to input message rate. And we also give some useful results such as the maximum message processing capacity according to the change of the performance of local CPU, and the local CPU maximum throughput according to the change of average message length, which is applicable as a reference data for the improvement or expansion of the ATM control system.

Recently, as Internet and its services grow rapidly, IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) introduced a new switching mechanism, MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching), to solve the problem of the scalability in Internet backbone. In this paper, we implemented the LSR loaded with VC-merging function, which causes LSR's management cost to be significantly reduced. We propose a new VC-merge function which supports differentiated services. In case of network congestion in the output buffer of each core LSR, appling link polices to the output modules of the LSR using the EPD algorithm can prevent the buffer from being overflowed. Simulation was performed for Diffserv by using multiple traffic models and investigated the impact of VC-merge method compared to non VC-merge method. The proposed switch is modeled in VHDL and fabricated using the SAMSUNG $0.5{\mu}m$ SOG process.
