ABSTRACT:
A new dimension for growth is presented for the generalized growable packet switch architecture. That dimension is time and by rolling routing requests around a distributed out-of-band controller ring, ATM cell traffic can be controlled and spread across two time intervals. The rolling of routing requests and the resulting time spreading of the cell traffic through the distribution network averages out bursts and localized hot spots, thereby reducing blocking and improving cell loss probabilities with only small increases in hardware cost and complexity.
