使用多级交换网络进行大容量光纤通道交换机设计

Using multi-stage switch fabric in large-scale fiber channel switch design

介绍了三级Clos网络拓扑,在此基础上设计了基于Clos网络的大容量光纤通道交换机体系结构。针对三级Clos网络存在的信元调度和路由分配问题,提出了一种新颖的采用流水线并行处理方式的双重匹配帧调度策略。该设计和策略对大容量光纤通道交换机的研制具有一定参考意义。

In this paper, the three-stage Clos-network is introduced to design the architecture of a large-scale Fiber Channel Switch. A novel strategy of flame based two-level matchings which computed in a pipelined and parallel manner is proposed to resolve the two issues of cell scheduling and route assignment. The presented architecture and scheme are good references for the design of a large-scale Fiber Channel Switch.
