Abstract

This paper presents a new copy network for multicast ATM switches. Many studies have been carried out up to date since the proposition of Lee's copy network. However, the overflows and cell conflicts within the switch have still been raised a problem in argument. In order to reduce those problems, we proposed a 3-dimensional multicast switching architecture which has shared buffers in this paper. The proposed architecture can reduce the overflows and cell conflicts through multiple paths and output ports even in the high load environments. Also, we proposed a cell splitting algorithm which handles the cell in the case of large fan-out, and a copy network to increase throughput by expanding the Lee's Broadcast Banyan Network(BBN). Cell copy uses the Boolean interval splitting algorithm and the multicast pattern of the cells according to the self-routing characteristics of the network. In the proposed copy network, we improve the problems such as overflow, cell splitting of large fanout, cell conflicts, etc., which were still existed in the Lee's network. The results of performance evaluation by computer simulation show that the proposed scheme has better throughput, cell loss rate and cell delay than the conventional method.

본 논문은 멀티캐스트 ATM 스위치를 위한 새로운 복사망에 관하여 언급한다. Lee의 복사망 제안 이후 현재까지 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나 스위치 내에서의 오버플로우와 셀 충돌 문제는 여전히 문제점으로 제기되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 치러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 공유 버퍼를 갖는 3차원 멀티캐스트 스위치 구조를 제안함으로서 높은 부하에서도 다중경로와 다중출력을 통해 오버플로우와 충돌을 줄일 수 있는 방법에 관하여 언급한다. 이를 위해 큰 팬아웃의 셀을 처리하기 위한 셀 분할 알고리즘(Cell splitting algorithm)과 Lee의 Broadcast Banyan Network을 확장시킨 복사망을 재안하였다. 셀 복사는 셀의 두 비트 멀티캐스트 패턴과 부울 방식의 내부분할 알고리즘(Boolean interval splitting algorithm)을 사용하여 네트워크가 갖는 자가-라우팅의 특성에 따라 이루어지도록 하였다. 제안된 복사망에서는 Lee의 복사망에서 문제가 되었던 오버플로우 문제, 큰 팬아웃의 셀 처리 문제, 셀 충돌 문제 등을 개선시킴으로서 기존의 멀티캐스트 ATM 스위치 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. 시뮬래이션에 의한 성능 평가 결과 기존의 방법과 비교하여 산출량, 셀 손실률, 셀 지연에 대해 좋은 성능을 보이고 있다.
