| Abstract: |
The B-network was first studied by Lee and Yoon. The systematic
imbalance of the internal link traffic, which was overlooked, was rectified by
Lau & Poon. The rectified model was then simulated with buffer added at the
input and/or output stage. In this paper, the performance of buffered
B-network is fully investigated. The packet arrival rates in each link,
throughput and average delay of the network are derived mathematically. They are
then compared with the simulation results. Finally, comparisons are made on the
throughput and average delay performance between buffered B-networks,
unbuffered B-networks, gamma networks and crossbar networks. |
