현재 ATM 망에서 다양한 형태의 스위치 구조가 제안 되었으며 스위치 구조는 크게blocking 과 nonblocking 스위치로 나눌 수 있다. nonblocking 스위치는 버퍼의 위치에 따라 input queuing, output queuing, shared buffer switch로 나뉘며 그 중에 입력 버퍼형은 하드웨어 구현이 쉬운 장점이 있으나 HOL블로킹으로 인하여 처리 효율이 낮다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 입력 버퍼형 ATM 교환기의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 가상적인 입력버퍼와 MUX를 이용한 입력버퍼형 반얀 스위치 모델을 제안한다.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of the Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN) with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches is Proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem of the MIN. The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch with output-buffers. The performance of the multiple-buffered${\alpha}{\times}{\alpha}$ crossbar switch is analyzed. Steady state probability concept is used to simplify the analyzing processes, Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are then evaluated, To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on a Baseline network that uses the multiple buffered crossbar switches. Less than 2% differences between analysis and simulation results are observed. It is also shown that the network performance is significantly improved when the small number of buffer spaces is given. However, the throughput elevation is getting reduced and network delay becomes increasing as more buffer spaces are added in a switch.

This paper proposes an efficient dynamic routing algorithm for Multistage Bus Networks(MBN's) in distributed shared memory environment. Our algorithm utilizes extra paths available on MBN and determines routing paths adaptively according to switch traffic in order to distribute traffic among switches. Precisely, a packet is transmitted to the next switch on an extra path having a lighter traffic. As a consequence the proposed algorithm reduces the mean response time and the average number of waiting tasks. The results of simulations, carried out with varying numbers of processors and varying switch sizes, show that the proposed algorithm improves the mean response time by 9% and the average number of waiting tasks by 21.6%, compared to the existing routing algorithms which do not consider extra paths on MBN.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of the Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN) with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches under Hot-spot environment is proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem of the MIN. The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch. The performance of the multiple-buffered $a{\times}a$ crossbar switch is analyzed. Steady state probability concept is used to simplify the analyzing processes. Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are then evaluated. To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on a Baseline network that uses the multiple buffered crossbar switches. Less than 2% differences between analysis and simulation results are observed. It is also shown that the network performance is significantly improved when the small number of buffer spaces is given. However, the throughput elevation is getting reduced and network delay becomes increasing as more buffer spaces are added in a switch.

Many types of switching fabrics have been proposed for use in ATM networks. Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) constitute a large class of ATM switching systems that are widely used in today´s internetworking. One of the most veil-known types of multistage networks is the banyan network. The banyan network is attractive for its simple routing scheme and low hardware complexity, but its throughput is very limited due to internal blocking and output contention. In this paper, we propose an input-buffered dual-banyan switch model with multiple switching fabric between switch input and output to avoid internal and Head-of Line blocking. By performance analysis and simulation, we show that our model has a lower ceil delay and 96% throughput which is much better than other banyan-type switch architecture.

Due to the increase of multimedia services, multicasting is considered as important design factor for ATM switch. To resolve the traffic expansion problem that is occurred by multicast in multistage interconnection networks, this paper proposes the multicast switch using a high-speed bus and a shared memory switch. Since the proposed switch uses a high-speed time division bus as a connection medium and chooses a shared memory switch as a basic switch module, it provides good port scalability. The traffic arbitration scheme enables internal non-blocking. By simulation we proves a good performance in the data throughput and the cell delay.

In the future, the performance of B-lSDN offering the multimedia and a various service depends on the performance of switch that is the important factor consisting of network. Bufferless banyan network consisted of MIN(multistage interconnection network) selected for- the fabric of ATM switch and has a limitation of performance because of blocking. Input buffered banyan networks with FIFO(first-in first-out) buffering scheme for the reduction of blocking and the cell bypass queueing theory for the reduction of HOL(head of line) blocking were seperately compared of the performance of switch. Specially input buffered banyan networks were applied monotonic buffering scheme that was proposed. As a result of simulation, Buffered Banyan Network with cell bypass queueing theory showed better performance than FIFO type input buffered Banyan network. Monotonic increase buffering scheme showed better performance than Monotonic decrease buffering scheme.

This paper presents a new modified input buffered switch, which called a grouped input buffered (GIB) switch, to eliminate the influence of HOL blocking when using multiple input buffers in ATM switches. The GIB switch consists of grouped sub switches per a network stage. The switch gives extra paths and buffered switching elements between groups for transferring the blocked cells. As the result, the proposed model can reduce the effect by the HOL blocking and thereafter it enhances the performance of the switch. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has good performance in comparison with previous works by using the parameters such as throughput, cell loss, delay and system power.

Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks(OMINs) comprising photonic switches have been studied extensively as important interconnecting building blocks for communication networks and parallel computing systems. A basic element of photonic switching networks is a 2$\times$2 directional coupler with two inputs and two outputs. This paper is concerned with the diagnosis of cross-talk-faults in OMINs. As the size of today's network becomes very large, the conventional diagnosis methods based on tests and simulation have become inefficient, or even more, impractical. In this paper, we propose a simple and easily implementable algorithm for detection and isolation of the single crosstalk-fault in OMINs. Specifically, we develope an algorithm fur the isolation of the source fault in switching elements whenever the single crosstalk-fault is detected in OMINS. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by an example of 16$\times$16 banyan network.
