Abstract :
The authors introduce a new method, called ring reservation, to design high-capacity packet switches. Input buffering is used with output port reservations to eliminate packet collisions. They describe a 32×32 prototype packet switch, built as a part of a broadband ISDN prototype, which has a per-port capacity of 30-55 Mbit/s
