Abstract :
This paper evaluates the performance of a switching network using nonuniform traffic models. The switching network is presented using the Benes (1965) topology and buffered switch elements. The nonuniform traffic refers to a traffic model with unevenly distributed routing and different intensity at certain output port destinations. The performance of the buffered network is analyzed applying nonuniform traffic in the form of hot-spot and community-of-interest. An analytical queueing model is developed for performance evaluation. Results of the performance evaluation on the network throughput and delay are presented
