To improve the queueing performance, they adopt the output queueing technique and allow several outputs to partially share the same output buffer space. the performance of the proposed switch is evaluated under uniform and nonuniform traffic patterns. Comparisons with the knockout switch, recursive switch, SCOQ, and Christmas-tree switch show that, in terms of complexity, crosspoint count, scalability and synchronisation, the proposed switch is superior.application/pdf742397 bytesapplication/pdfen-USHierarchical systems; Modular construction; Queueing theory; Switching systems; Synchronization; Asynchronous transfer mode; Broadband ISDN; Digital communication systemsjournal article10.1109/LCN.1993.5911822-s2.0-0027874193http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/2007041910032335/1/00591182.pdf
