文摘This paper proposes a Shared Buffer Memory ATM Access Switch . The switches have significant benefits over Crossbar or Bus Based switches because its output buffer memories are shared by all the switch output ports and are allotted to one particular output port as the occasion demands. As Buffer allocation schemes in the ATM Switches is Partial Sharing, it is trade-off between Complete Sharing and Dedicated Allocation. In addition, the queuing structures used in the shared memory are independent of both the data path through the switch and the cell scheduling mechanism. The method for queue management is simple and effective.
