Queueing performance of copy networks with dynamic cell splitting for multicast ATM switching
Xinyi Liu, Hussein Talaat Mouftah · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1997
This paper analyzes and compares the queueing performance of copy networks for multicast ATM switching. Both nonbuffered and input-buffered copy networks are studied. Particularly, the shared-input-buffering approach is investigated, and the performance improvement obtained by employing the buffer in the network is demonstrated. The effectiveness of the dynamic cell splitting scheme is presented as well.
