Flow control in packet-switched multistage interconnection networks
A. Pombortsis, Ioannis P. Vlahavas · 2003
The authors present a threshold-based flow control procedure, based on feedback schemes for reducing the performance degradation of packet-switched multistage interconnection networks with binary routing, under a nonuniform hot spot traffic pattern. The use of the proposed feedback policies in such networks permits the discrimination between regular and hot packets, controls the tree saturation, and offers a significant network performance improvement.>
