Overflow controller in copy network of broadband packet switch
C.-J. Chang, Chih-Hung Ling · Electronics Letters · 1991
An overflow controller for a copy network in a broadband packet switch is proposed and designed. This overflow controller implemented by a new dummy address encoding process has five modes of operation to determine how the input multicast packet is served (switched). The controller can not only resolve the overflow problem but also make the copy network a high throughput network.
