Abstract :
Switching architectures with sharable parallel memory modules are known to provide scalable switch capacity with the advantage of complete sharing of memory resource. The router switches that belong in this class, namely the shared multibuffer switch and the sliding-window packet switch, are evaluated for comparing their memory-bandwidth requirement.
