Design of fault-tolerant ATM switch based on parallelarchitecture
S. Segkhoonthod, Mark C. Sinclair · Electronics Letters · 1997
A fault-tolerant ATM switch comprising a distribution network and several routing networks in parallel is proposed. As the distribution network carries out part of the routing process, the routing networks are truncated, giving low overall complexity. A performance evaluation of the switch is presented. The switch outperforms replicated networks but requires lower complexity.
