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.

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.

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.

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.

This paper proposes a network processor especially optimized for content switching. With 2Gbps port capability, it integrates packet processor cluster, content-based classification engine and traffic manager on a single chip. A switch fabric architecture is also designed for scale-up of the network processor's capability over hundreds gigabit bandwidth. Applied in real network systems, the network processor shows wire-speed network address translator (NAT) and content-based switching performance.

In this paper, we propose VC merge capable hardware architecture for scalability based on ATM switching fabric. We implemented a scheduler for configuring crossbars in input-queued switches which support virtual output queues at the input ports. Also, we implemented VC merge capable scheduler at the output ports. We verified the proposed model by using C language, and designed with VHDL language. Then, we simulated and synthesized it with software of the SYNOPSYS corporation.

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.

This paper proposes a sound multicast packet-switching method which can less affect QoS degradation. The method includes a switch fabric with extra switching paths dedicated for multicast packets. Presented also are both a buffering structure and a scheduling algorithm for the proposed method. Simulation analysis for the method shows that the switching delay of unicast packets is decreased even though arrival rate of multicast packets is increased.

Recently, Broadband ISDN(B-ISDN) has received increased attention as a communication architecture which can support multimedia applications. Also, Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) is considered as a promising technique to transfer and switch various kinds of media, such as telephone speech, data and motion video. Comparisons among a variety of ATM switching systems which have already been proposed will provide quite useful information for the new ATM switching system design. To facilitate the comparison, we introduce the design requirements and classification criteria for the ATM switch, and propose a performance analysis model for the Banyan network which is the basic switching fabric of most multi-stage ATM switching systems. The model is based on the standard discrete-time Markov chain analysis and can be conveniently used for extensive Banyan network analysis. The computational results are also presented.
