  • In this paper, we propose ATM switch structure including AAL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of AAL cells which consist of AAL type 1, AAL type 2, AAL type 3/4, and AAL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the AAL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global AAL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a strong point for easy implementation and extensibility. The proposed ATM switch fabric architecture is applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network.

  • The overall performance of BISDN depends significantly on the interconnection network or the switch fabric. Hence, it is extremely important to evaluate the performance of the network or the fabric. The well developed performance models also provide insight into the factors that determine design tradeoffs as well as quantitative estimates of their importance. The objective of this paper is to investigate and critically compare all the developed performance analysis models of FPS according to internal switch fabric structure, traffic assumptions, performance measures, methodologies, etc. FPSs are described according to their internal fabric structure. Brief history of FPS performance analysis is mentioned and performance analysis modeling is discussed.

  • In this paper, we propose ATM switch architecture including ALL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of m cells which consist of ALL type 1. ALL type 2, ALL type 3/4 and ALL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the ALL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global ALL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a merit for easy implementation and extensibility. In this paper, the AAL Type 2 switch module which adapts the former method is designed using VHDL language and implemented in FPGA chip. The designed AAL Type 2 switch module operates at 52MHz. The proposed ATM switch fabric is widely applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network and wireless ATM as well as general ATM switching fabric.

  • In this paper, we study on an implementation of cell scheduler which arbitrates the ATM exchange efficiently and swiftly. The designed ATM cell scheduler of this paper is based on iSLIP scheduling algorithm. It is aimed at the high-speed implementation. The implemented cell scheduler approximately provides 100% throughput for cell scheduling. We present a basic structure for cell scheduler and describe by using the HDL and perform behavior level and timing simulation. The cell scheduler of this paper is designed to support 8-port switch fabric and can expand in 32-port switch fabric. The cell scheduler for supporting the 8-port switch fabric is designed in 2-stage pipelines for the grant and accept stages respectively.

  • PCB design technology for high-speed transmission line has been developed continuously. Adapting to the high capacity of the communication system, switch fabric interface used for backplane is being standardized to accommodate more than 10Gbps serial interface. In this paper, various computer simulations are performed to compare the performance of each transmission line per length according to PCB material, and also to analyze the effect from via stub length and crosstalk, for the purpose of applying 11.5Gbps serial interface as a switch fabric interface in tera-bit switching system. As a result of the simulation, important design issues, such as PCB material of each board supporting 8dB improvement in transmission loss using low loss PCB, maximum available stub length on transmission line via, whether or not to apply the backdrill process to the via, and the clearance of the differential pair between transmission lines, are determined. The most efficient system architecture which could be applied 11.5Gbps serial interface in all switch fabric interfaces is defined from the simulation results.

  • Avionic databuses fulfill a critical function in the connection and communication of aircraft components and functions such as flight-control, navigation, and monitoring. Ethernet-based avionic databuses have become the mainstream for large aircraft owning to their advantages of full-duplex communication with high bandwidth, low latency, low packet-loss, and low cost. As a new generation aviation network communication standard, avionics full-duplex switched ethernet (AFDX) adopted concepts from the telecom standard, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In this technology, the switches are the key devices influencing the overall performance. This paper reviews the avionic databus with emphasis on the switch architecture classifications. Based on a comparison, analysis, and discussion of the different switch architectures, we propose a new avionic switch design based on a time-division switch fabric for high flexibility and scalability. This also merges the design concept of space-partition switch fabric to achieve reliability and predictability. The new switch architecture, called space partitioned shared memory switch (SPSMS), isolates the memory space for each output port. This can reduce the competition for resources and avoid conflicts, decrease the packet forwarding latency through the switch, and reduce the packet loss rate. A simulation of the architecture with optimized network engineering tools (OPNET) confirms the efficiency and significant performance improvement over a classic shared memory switch, in terms of overall packet latency, queuing delay, and queue size.

  • This paper proposes a new output-buffered multicast ATM switch with tandem crosspoints switching fabric, named the MTCOS(Multicast Tandem Crosspoint Output-buffered Switch). The MTCOS consists of multiple simple crosspoint switch fabrics, named TCSF(Tandem Crosspoint Switch Fabric) , and concentrated output buffers for efficient multicasting. The TCSF resolves the cell delay deviation problem which the self-routing crossbar switches inherently have. Further, it offers multiple concurrent pathes from one input to multiple output ports. It also provides multi-channel switching by easy software configuration and has several desirable characteristics such as scalability, high Performance, and modularity. A shared traffic concentration and output queuing strategies of the MTCOS results in lower cell loss as well as lower cell delay time over a wide range of multicast traffic. Furthermore, it has lower hardware complexity than that of the SCOQ and Knockout multicast switch to achieve the same Knockout concentration rate as the conventional switches. It is shown that the proposed switch can be easily applied to design high performance for any multicast traffic by analytic analysis and computer simulation.

  • The proposed switch which has separated data plane and switching plane can make parallel processing for packet data storing, memory address pointer switching and simultaneously can be capable of switching the variable length for IP packets. The proposed architecture does not require the complicated arbitration algorithms in VOQ, also is designed for QoS of generic output queue switch as well as input queue. At the result of simulations, the proposed architecture has less average packet delay than the one of the memory-sharing based architecture and guarantees keeping a certain average packet delay in increasing switch size.

  • The switching fabric used to make high speed switching for packet transfer between input and output interface in recent internet environments. Without making any changes in order to remain ATM switching fabric, the existing structures should split/reassemble a packet to certain size, set aside cross-point buffer and will put loads on the system. In this paper, we proposed a new switch architecture, which has separated data memory plane and switching plane packet data will be stored on the separate memory structure and simultaneously only the part of the memory address pointers can pass the switching fabric. The small mini packets which have address pointer and basic information would be passed through the switching fabric. It is possible to achieve the remarkable switching performance than other switch fabrics with contending variable length packets.
