Design Requirements and Architectures for Multicast ATM Switching (Special Issue on Distributed Architecture for Next Generation Communication Networks)

概要

論文の詳細を見る
By addressing design requirements for multicast ATM switching, this paper attempts to provide an integrated view of modular and expandable switch architectures suitable for both unicast and multicast switching for future B-ISDNs. Several large and modular multicast ATM switching architectures are discussed, each of which handles different traffic situations. These architectures consist of multiple shared-buffer copy network modules of adequate size suitable for fabrication on a single chip, and small output memory switch modules. A new modular link-grouped multistage interconnection network is proposed for interconnecting copy network modules and memory switch modules, so that future large multicast ATM switching networks can be built in a modular fashion. The described modular architectures can significantly facilitate signal synchronization in large-scale switching networks.
