Eight priorities for both unicast and multicast traffic are implemented, and the highest priority with strict QoS guarantee is designed for real-time traffic. Through performance analysis under multi-prlorlty burst traffic, we demonstrate that the load-balancing algorithm is efficient, and the switch system not only provides excellent performance to real-time traffic, but also efficiently allocates bandwidth among other traffic of lower priorities. As a result, this parallel switch system is more scalable towards next generation core routers with QoS guarantee, as well as ensures in-order delivery of IP packets.展开更多

Firstly a model of Stable PPS (SPPS) is proposed. The constraints of traffic scheduling algorithms, the number of switching layers and internal speedup, for both bufferless and buffered SPPS architecture, are theoretically analyzed. Based on these results, an example of designing a scalable SPPS with 1.28T capacity is presented, and practical considerations on implementing the scheduling algorithm are discussed. Simulations are carried out to investigate the validity and delay performance of the SPPS architecture.展开更多
