Input‐Buffered Switches
H. Jonathan Chao, Cheuk H. Lam, Eiji Oki · 2001
Chapter 3 covers the fundamentals of input-buffered switches, including the head-of-line blocking phenomenon, traffic models and related throughput results, methods for performance improving, and scheduling algorithms. We show the problems of input-buffered switches, and present the techniques and algorithms that have been proposed to tackle the problems.
