Clos networks were first created in the mid-1950s as a method to switch telephone calls. Clos networks evolved into crossbar topologies and eventually into chassis-based Ethernet switches using a ...
Caught between the promise of near-infinite bandwidth in the optical core and the ever-increasing speeds and port densities of the access infrastructure, today's edgeswitching systems are running out ...
A new concept for crossbar switching fabrics that targets unused switching paths will be presented at the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference this week. The following article contains excerpts from ...
