Abstract :
The proposed packet network for broadband ISDN will support multipoint as well as point-to-point communication. One key component of such a network is the multicast switch capable of packet replications. The performance of a nonblocking multicast switch which can be made using Batcher-Banyan networks is analyzed. The performance of the switch with respect to delay and throughput is examined using a queuing model in which each input port is modeled as an M/G/1 queue.<>
