Abstract :
A new cell re-sequence mechanism is proposed to restore cell sequence in multipath ATM switches. Since the proposed mechanism uses per-VC logical queues which store only the cells belonging to the same VC, the mechanism can reduce processing time compared to conventional re-sequence mechanisms. The mechanism also has no limitation on the peak rate of the VCs and no arbitration functions to select an output cell. The mechanism can be implemented using a RAM buffer, a CAM/RAM table, a controller, etc
