Abstract

The SCOQ switch is a Batcher-banyan-based high-performance fast packet switch with shared concentration and output queuing, with a maximum of L(<N, the switch size) packets delivered to each output buffer in a slot. The authors consider the performance of the SCOQ switch under nonuniform traffic loading. Based on the analysis of nonuniform traffic patterns, a buffer management congestion control scheme is proposed with the K=N/L output parts of each of the L switching modules sharing their buffering capacity. Numerical results show that the buffer management scheme is effective
