Abstract :
Large, fast switches require novel approaches to architecture and scheduling. In this paper, we propose the Output Buffered Switch with Input Groups (OBIG). We present simulation results, discuss the implementation, and show how our architecture can be used to build single-stage (flat) switches with multi-terabit-per-second throughput and hundreds of ports.
