“…Third, for the same marginal case of exclusively unicast traffic, the results ( Figure 5: AM-w = 0% and SM-w = 0% curves) coincide with our results reported in Figure 5 of [11]. In our paper [11], a similar analytical model is studied for SiLMIN which supports exclusively unicast traffic.…”

“…In our paper [11], a similar analytical model is studied for SiLMIN which supports exclusively unicast traffic. The results as depicted in Figure 5 of [11] for unicast-type traffic are found to be more accurate compared with performance statistics obtained by some older study models in the literature.…”

SUMMARYHere a novel analytical method for performance prediction estimation of single-and multi-layer multistage interconnection networks (MINs) under multicast environments is presented. The 'Cell Replication While Routing' is used as a packet routing technique and the 'full multicast' mode as transmission policy is employed in all the MINs under study. This model is developed for single-layer MINs and is extended and applied to special types of multi-layer MINs, called semi-layer MINs, which support mixed traffic patterns such as unicast and multicast in uniform traffic conditions. The results confirm the significant performance saturation of single-layer MINs and the improvement of corresponding performance indicators by semilayer MINs. The proposed analytical framework is anticipated to be a very useful tool in evaluating the performance of semi-layer MINs in designing more efficient QoS networks.

The performance of multilayered asymmetric-sized finite-buffered delta networks supporting multiclass routing traffic is presented and analyzed in the uniform traffic conditions under various loads using simulations. The rationale behind introducing asymmetric-sized buffered systems is to have a better exploitation of available buffer spaces, while the implementation of multilayered architecture is applied in order to further improve the overall performance of network. The findings of this performance evaluation can be used by network designers for drawing optimal configurations while setting up the network, so as to best meet the performance and cost requirements under the anticipated traffic load and quality of service specifications.

Constructing capable and scalable parallel computers or connecting contemporary networks efficiently makes multistage switching networks essential and significant devices. This is why they remain an interesting field of research and are being continually improved. This paper introduces a new idea-a new architecture-to ameliorate the behaviour of the networks' connection points.The proposed novel construction accommodates multiple internal paths and a fan-out at the end. Via this study, basic features of this introduced fabric (such as cost, reliability, and performance measures) are presented in a quantitative manner. Moreover, some comparisons-especially in terms of complexity, cost, and reliability-with other similar modern constructions that also enclose multiple internal routes are shown. This study reveals that the proposed multistage system improves performance metrics, fault tolerance, and reliability and indicates that due to its properties, this innovative device can be used in the commercial sector.
