Reliable Switching Architecture for High Speed Networks

Due to the advancement in the field of computer technology, communication and the increasing user´s demand in terms of bandwidth and speed, the future communication network is rolling towards the BISDN with optical technology. The high speed ATM network is one of the major tools used for BISDN. This BISDN services are expected by the users not only from the wired network but also from the wireless network. In turn, the efficiency of the ATM network relies on the switching fabric. Hence, the switching fabric of future telecommunication systems should have a very low cell loss and delay performance in both the networks. In this paper, the results of the simulation of Banyan switch network and the results of the implementation of the switch fabric onto the FPGA chip XCS20 are presented. Also, the applicability for the switch fabric for high speed requirement has been discussed.
