Internet-Router Buffered Crossbars Based on Networks on Chip
2009
2009 12th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design, Architectures, Methods and Tools
The scalability and performance of the Internet depends critically on the performance of its packet switches. Current packet switches are based on single-hop crossbar fabrics, with line cards that use virtual output-queueing to reduce head-of-line blocking. In this paper we propose to use a multi-hop network on a chip (NOC) as the crossbar fabric, with FIFO-queued line cards. The use of a multi-hop crossbar fabric has several advantages. 1) Speed-up, i.e. the crossbar fabric can operate faster
