โฆ Synopsis
ATM is the switching and multiplexing technology chosen to be used in the implementation of B-ISDN, because of its superiority in fast packet switching. However, the use of ATM switches with large number of input and output ports have been proven to be a bottleneck in wide area ATM networks. In this paper, we propose a new space-division grid-based ATM architecture with fault tolerant characteristics and minimal number of switching elements (SE's).

We consider an ATh4 switch consisting of a number of output-buffered ATM switch elements operating in parallel. Such an architecture may lead to uneven distribution of cells over the parallel switch element buffers, if no modifications to the design is made. 'With this motivation, we propose a thres
