Abstract :
The authors examine some recent technology advances in the evolution of wideband packet technology (WPT). These advances include contention resolution in WPT switch fabrics, GaAs implementation of WPT switch fabric, and packet processing in trunk interfaces. It is concluded that WPT architectures are ideally suited for aggressive incorporation in advanced VLSI technology particularly for the implementation of the core of a large self-routing multistage interconnection network and for implementation of the distributed packet processing functions of the trunk interfaces
