Abstract
This paper studies the architectural trade-offs found in a novel ATM packet switch that offers several benefits for applications based on free-space digital optics. The architecture is based on a banyan network, but it uses a combination of deflection routing and output buffering to solve the contention resolution problem. It also makes novel use of chutes to remove packets from the banyan network when they have arrived in their desired output row.
