Abstract :
Composite star network is an alternative architecture for the backbone of the next generation Internet as it provides agility and means of QoS to applications. We present performance evaluation of a composite star network based on a crossbar, a Benes or a log2(N, m, p) architecture. Crosstalk property of these architectures are analyzed and compared. Based on the analysis of switch properties, crosstalk property of the composite star network is analyzed. As path length is short in such network, photonic switches with large size can be adopted. Our results indicate that crossbar switch is not suitable for this network as its crosstalk performance is quite poor. The results can be used as guides to designing of photonic switches.
