Abstract :
We investigate the performance impact of a Banyan type MIN ATM switch with priority-based design and its impact on system performance. The switch design consists of static buffer splitting, adaptive buffer splitting, as well as the priority-based selection strategies for solving cell contentions. A new analytical model is developed for the favorite load traffic pattern which can reflect some typical ATM applications and also include the uniform load as its special case. System performance comparisons are conducted for a number of different priority-based ATM switch designs
