Introduction to ATM
switching
Because the cells are all the same size, cell delay at ATM
switches is more predictable and manageable.

Performance: a)
Connection
Blocking
Since ATM is defined to be connection oriented, after
connection set-up, a logical connection must be found between
the logical inlet and the logical outlet.
Cont
But if the queue is currently full, another cell that will require
the same queue will be lost.

Performance: c) Switching
Delay
Typical delay values are between 10 and 1000 usec, with jitter
of 100 nsec or less.
The delay and the jitter in the cell are strongly related to the
queueing in the switching element. A small queue will assure
better delays but will increase the cell loss probability.
Information Rates
The maximal bit rate which a future ATM switch has to be able
to switch lies around 150 Mbit/sec.

Queuing Methods
Queuing Methods:
Problems
For example:
Two ATM cells arrived at two inlets at the same time and are
aiming for the same outlet
Queuing Methods:
Approaches
Input Buffers
Output Buffers
Central Queuing
Solution:
If the first cell in the queue is blocked, the next cell which is
destined for an idle output (or internal switch
interconnection network link) will be selected for
transmission
The assumption is that many cells from the IC can cross the
internal interconnection network and arrive to the outlets
