We describe the development and analysis of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch architecture based on input-output buffers, a sort-Banyan network and a feedback acknowledgement (ACK) signal to be sent to the input unit. This is an input-buffer and output-buffer type of switch but with the dif

β¦ Synopsis
In a banyan based broadband packet switch using input queuing, the throughput of the switch is limited by the head of line blocking. Windowing is a technique used to mitigate the head of line blocking by relaxing the strict first-in-first-out queuing discipline of the input buffers. In this paper, we compare four different windowing policies which have been presented in the literature for input buffered non blocking time-slotted packet switch. First we compare the performance in terms of maximum throughput under random and bursty traffic patterns and then compare the implementation requirements of the four windowing policies.

Backpressure control is one of several effective traffic control schemes for ATM-LAN. Comparing an input queuing switch with an output queuing switch, backpressure control in a congested input queuing switch has the ability to selectively control the output port of the front stage of the input queui
