Using Triangular Style Memory Architecture For High Speed Switch

Abstract

This paper presents a new architecture of a high-speed switch which can be used for ATM. The switch, called TSM (Triangular Style Memory), uses Dual-Port eliminating the bus contention. With the same required throughput and cell loss probability, the performance analysis of the switch shows that the number of buffers and average cell delay can be significantly reduced in the proposed switch while comparing to the ATM switches with central shared memory.
