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.

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.

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.

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.

This paper presents a new, three-dimensional round-robin scheduler that provides high throughput and fair across in an advanced input-queued packet switch using shared input buffers. We consider an architecture in which each input port group shares a common buffer and maintains a separate queue for each output, which is ratted the distributed common input buffer switch. In an NxN switch, our scheduler determines which queue in the total MxN input queues is served during each time slot where M is the number of common buffers. We suppose that each common buffer has K input ports and K output ports, and manages N output queues. The 3DRR scheduler determines MxK queues in every K(M) cycle when $K\geq$M (K$\leq$M), and provides massively parallel processing for the applications of high-speed switches with a large number of ports. The 3-DRR scheduler can be implemented using duplicated simple logic components allowing very high-speed implementation.

NP Forum에서는 다양한 밴더의 네트워크 프로세서와 스위치 패브릭간에 물리적 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해 CSIX-L1(Common Switch Interface-Level 1 )인터페이스를 표준화하였다. IBM 네트워크 프로세서는 MPLS 및 VPN, VLAN, Security, Ipv6와 같은 다양한 어플리케이션과 TBI. SMII CMII. POS bus등 다양한 가입자 인터페이스를 지원하며, L2 기 반에서 2.5Gbps 이상의 패킷 처리를 수행하기 때문에 많은 시스템에 사용된다. 그러나 IBM네트워크 프로세서는 스위치 인터페이스로 DASL인터페이스를 사용한다. 따라서 DASL인 터페이스와 CSIX-L1 인터페이스를 정합하기 위해서는 IBM UDASL칩을 이용해 DASL인 터페이스를 UTOPIA-L3인터페이스로 변환해야 하며, 이것을 다시 CSIX-L1인터페이스로 변환해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 UTOPIA-L3인터페이스 패킷과 CSIX-L1인터페이스 프레임을 상호 변환하는 모듈을 설계하였으며, 32비트 데이터 버스와 최대 125MHz로클록을 사용해 최대 4Gbps의 패킷처리를 제공하도록 구현하였다. 또한 스위치 패브릭의 특정 포트에서 과잉 트래픽 전달로 인해 발생할 수 있는 블로킹을 방지하기 위해 네트워크 프로세서에게 3개의 Priority／최대 64개 포트수의 VOQ(Virtual Output Queue)를 제공하는 기법에 대해서 기술한다.

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.
