Abstract :
A method of cell-level path allocation for three-stage ATM switches has previously been proposed by the authors. The performance of ATM switches using this path allocation algorithm has been evaluated by simulation, and is described. Both uniform and non-uniform models of output loading are considered. The algorithm requires knowledge of the number of cells requesting each output module from a given input module. A fast method for counting the number of requests is described
