Slicing & Dicing • Concentrator • Distributor • Slicing
Concentrator Smooth the load of bursty sources Make efficient use of channel bandwidth Concentrator factor:
Takes one high bandwidth channel and distribute its packets over several lower bandwidth channels Distributor • Interface high bandwidth module with a network that has a lower bandwidth • Interface with a slower router • Fault tolerance
Bit Slicing Control signal
Slicing Multi-Stage Networks 2 2 2*16 pin ports Diameter = 3Switches: 4*4*4=64 16 pin ports Diameter = 2 Switches: 4*4*2=32
Routing Basics • Motivation: How to go from source to destination • Definition: • Deterministic: Routing algorithm always choose the same path between source and destination • Oblivious: Routing algorithms choose a route without considering the state of the network • Adoptive: Routing algorithms adapt to the state of the network
