Performance evaluation of EDCI switch with per VC queueing

Conference ·
OSTI ID:211598

This contribution evaluates the performance of EFCI switch with per VC buffer management. Throughput, response time, switch and host buffer requirements are compared with that of an EFCI switch using the FEFO queueing mechanism. We found that per VC queueing in EFCI switch provided optimal performance. In addition, the ABR flow control was able to keep traffic at the edge of the AIM network, where it should be, during congestion.
